Chromium spills on soils are causing severe groundwater contamination
problems. To increase the performance of cleanup methods, the chemical behavior
of chromium in soils and its transport through soils have to be understood. The
objectives of this research were to investigate the sorption characteristics of
chromium(VI) in soil and to...
Linear economic models were utilized to predict effects of various
environmental control policies on individual firms. Four different
linear models were specified and in some instances relatively
minor changes in specification were made which resulted in additional
sub-models. Models varied as to numbers and types of fixed
factors, variable cost...
This study was undertaken to determine both the amount and the
spatial variability of sand, silt, clay, and six fractions of coarse
fragments in soils representing harsh sites for reforestation. Particle size data were collected because of their direct relationship to
water holding capacity and the plantability and survivability of...
