  • Spatial variability of dust deposition in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico

    Creator:
    McClintock, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Dust deposition on ecosystems with highly weathered soils may provide vital rock-derived nutrients that maintain ecosystem productivity. Because of the difficulties in measuring temporally and spatially heterogeneous dust deposition over ecologically meaningful timescales, evaluations of the spatial variability in dust deposition are extremely rare. In the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto...

  • Surface complexation of protons and sulfate by kaolinite

    Creator:
    Wildensee, Frank
    Abstract:
    The emission of sulfur oxides from anthropogenic sources represents a potential threat to terrestrial ecosystems. Sulfate, the most highly oxidized form of sulfur, is the most common form of inorganic sulfur in most soil environments. The sorption of sulfate may influence the alkalinity of the soil solution and as a...
