Studies of the diel behavior of phytoplankton are numerous,
however, little work has been done on diel changes in neuston, the
organisms inhabiting the surface microlayer. Sampling of the
neuston and plankton of Sequim Bay, Washington was conducted on
18-19 August 1983 at four hour intervals. Neuston samples (upper 50...
There is an increasing world inventory of radiotechnetium (mainly
⁹⁹Tc) and it is inevitable that some of this will be released to the
environment. However, little is known about the environmental behavior
of this element.
This work examined technetium's behavior in two representative
freshwater species, the pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera)...
The compositions and loadings of organic matter in soils and sediments from a diverse range of environments along the Fly River system were determined to investigate carbon transport and sequestration in this region. Soil horizons from highland sites representative of upland sources have organic carbon contents (%OC) that range from...
