Abstract:
... To assess the source characteristics of coastal aerosols and evaluate the contribution of atmospheric deposition to particulate organic matter in surface seawater, total suspended particulates (TSP) were collected at a shore-based site on the south coast of North Yellow Sea from December 2019 through November 2020. The samples were analyzed for total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrogen (TN) as well ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen (N) is often the key nutrient limiting primary production in coastal waters. Quantifying sources and sinks of N is therefore critical to understanding the factors that underpin the productivity of coastal ecosystems. Constraining nitrogen inputs can be difficult for some terms such as N fixation and marine exchange as a consequence of uncertainties associated with scaling and stochasticit ...

Abstract:
... Bogs are ombrotrophic, relying solely on atmospheric deposition for new inputs of elements. Increased element deposition through anthropogenic activities has the potential to alter nutrient availability, and hence ecosystem function, in bogs. Further, because of efficient element retention, bogs may function as effective monitors of element deposition. To assess the potential effects of particulat ...

Abstract:
... Mountain lakes have long been perceived as pristine environments. However, atmospheric deposition of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been shown to expose these sensitive ecosystems to chemical pollution. Little is known on how this pollution impacts aquatic ecosystems at high altitudes. We combined passive sampling with liquid and gas chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry (LC- ...

The high rate of biomass accumulation during this secondary succession relies on the availability of essential nutrients, such as nitrogen (N). Nitrogen primarily limits many young secondary forests in the tropics. However, recent studies have shown that forests of the Congo basin are subject to h ...

Chokai volcano is composed of low-permeability andesite lava, a snowfall-influenced hydrological setting that has been little studied. Snowfall there is expected to decrease due to climate change and expanded quarrying along its southern foot. To evaluate the effects of future environmental changes on the groundwater discharged from springs at the feet of lava flows, which is used for agriculture ...

Intensive harvesting of forest biomass for bioenergy has the potential to degrade forest soils and productivity if ecosystem carbon and other nutrients are depleted faster than replenished naturally or by management inputs. Climate change mitigation potential associated with bioenergy may be threatened if forest management operations reduce soil carbon stocks. Research reported here was initiated ...

Abstract:
... Identifying sources and transport routes of heavy metals in soil is necessary for pollution control. This study integrated principal component analysis (PCA), positive matrix factorization (PMF), and geographic information system (GIS) mapping to identify the sources, transport routes, and apportion heavy metals in soil based on land uses around a smelting site. The results revealed that the mean ...

Abstract:
... Fort McMurray and the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) experienced major wildfires in 2016, but the impact of these on regional deposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and trace elements has not been reported nor compared to industrial sources of these pollutants in the region. Living moss (Sphagnum fuscum) was collected in triplicate from five ombrotrophic bogs in the AOSR after th ...

Abstract:
... Intense input of potential toxic elements (PTEs) from diffuse anthropogenic sources to agricultural alluvial soils has caused bias in the geochemical baseline value (GBV) established by current methods. This study intends to assess the extent of bias and establish the GBV for 9 PTEs based on their source contribution on the largest alluvial islands in China, the Chongming Islands. The results of t ...

Abstract:
... Despite phosphorus (P) being crucial for plant nutrition and thus food security, excessive P fertilization harms soil and aquatic ecosystems. Accordingly, the European Green Deal and derived strategies aim to reduce P losses and fertilizer consumption in agricultural soils. The objective of this study is to calculate a soil P budget, allowing the quantification of the P surpluses/deficits in the E ...

Atmospheric deposition of inhalable and respirable airborne particulate matter contributes to lake sediments, providing a mineralogical and chemical record of what was in the air at the time of deposition. A subset of respirable airborne particulate matter referred to as elongate mineral particles (EMPs) are of special interest because of their potential for aggravating or inducing diseases. Dust- ...
