Abstract:
... A comprehensive spatio-vertical survey of short-chain (SCCPs, C10-13) and medium-chain (MCCPs, C14-17) chlorinated paraffins (CPs) was performed in surface and core soils from Chinese nation-wide agricultural lands in 2016, and a total of 48 congener groups were measured. The shorter carbon chain C10-11 in SCCP and C14-15 in MCCP homologue groups, and the lower chlorinated congeners (Cl5-7) for bo ...

Abstract:
... Land inundation is a common occurrence in Bangladesh, mainly due to the presence of two major river systems – the Brahmaputra and the Ganges. Inundation influences land use and cropping intensity. However, there is little information on the influences of the extent of flooding and cropping intensity has on soil organic carbon (SOC), particularly at the landscape level. To investigate these influen ...
