Mercury concentrations and depositions for northeastern Minnesota were measured in precipitation to investigate depositional
trends, relationships with major cations and anions, and possible source emission regions. Results for 1987–1990 showed that
environmentally significant amounts of Hg are present in precipitation and air and are subsequently deposited to remote lake
watersheds. Volume-weighted concentrations of total Hg in precipitation averaged about 18 ng Hg L−1 with calculated annual depositions near 15 μg Hg m−2. Mercury concentrations in precipitation are positively correlated with the major ions, conductivity, and pH, and are negatively
correlated with precipitation volume. The best predictor equation from stepwise regression has an r2 of 0.65 with Mg and chloride concentrations as predictor variables. From measurements of Hg in rain concentrations as a function
of time within events, scavenging ratios for “washable” Hg were calculated to be 140 ± 80 (mass based at a 1 mm hr −1 precipitation rate). Up to about 10% of the total Hg in air is subject to washout by precipitation for a given event. Air
parcel back-trajectories indicate that possible source regions within 72-hr travel time were located mostly to the south,
southeast, and southwest, up to 2500 km distance away but local sources may also be important. 相似文献

Contamination of soils in agroecosystems with microplastics (MPs) is of increasing concern. The contamination of the environment/farmland soils with MPs (1 µm to 5 mm sized particles) and nanoplastics (NPs; <1 µm sized particles) is causing numerous effects on ecological soil functions and human health. MPs enter the soil via several sources, either from intentional plastic use (e.g., plastic mulch, plastic greenhouses, plastic-coated products) or indirectly from the input of sewage sludge, compost, or irrigation water that is contaminated with plastic. Once in the soil, plastic debris can have various impacts such as changes in soil functions and physicochemical properties and it affects soil organisms due to its toxic behavior. This review paper describes the different effects of plastic waste to understand the consequences for agricultural productivity. Furthermore, we identify knowledge gaps and highlight the required approaches, indicating future research directions on sources, transport, and fate of MPs in soils to improve our understanding of various unspecified abiotic and biotic impacts of MP pollution in agroecosystems. 相似文献

During the period from June 1982 to March 1983, there was a prolonged shutdown of the INCO and Falconbridge smelters at Sudbury, Ontario. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Air Resources Branch of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment undertook a detailed analysis of the impact that the resulting emission reductions had on the atmospheric deposition of acidity and SOX in Ontario. This paper summarizes the various meteorological analyses and mathematical modeling estimates that were carried out in order to determine the contribution of the Sudbury smelters to atmospheric deposition in Ontario. For sulfates, the Sudbury contribution to the total wet deposition was typically less than 15% at the receptors studied. Furthermore, the smelters were found to contribute on the order of 10 to 20% of the total dry deposition of S compounds in central and northeastern Ontario, and less than 10% elsewhere. 相似文献

A coral settlement device was used to examine recruitment patterns of Acropora at two stations (st.; A and B) in Bunaken Island, Manado. The recruitment timing of Acropora was not determined because of mixing with Isopora. A marine block (MB) was used to observe the growth of settled acroporid corals at st. A. Within a year of settlement (February–May of the following year), the corals which had settled on the MB had grown to a size of 13.4 ± 5.86 mm. They were dominated by Isopora, with a small proportion of Acropora. A supplementary experiment again using the MB was conducted at three other sites (st. C, D, E) where Isopora was not abundant. The size of the corals which settled on the MB was nearly the same as that of the corals at st. A. Juvenile Acropora corals (≤3 cm, encrusting form) were measured on the Manado coast (st. F) between February and May. At this site, Acropora corals were dominant and no Isopora corals were observed; the size of Acropora was 18.5 ± 5.01 mm. Acroporid corals in February and March at st. A appeared smaller than those at st. F and grew to nearly the same size in early April. 相似文献

The primary objectives of this study were to investigate incidence of abnormal ovarian cyclicity (AOC) and its type in dairy
and beef cows with prolonged postpartum period (>90 days) and in heifers that fail to conceive. A total of 53 animals were
included in the study: 17 Friesian crosses, 16 Braford crosses, eight Brangus crosses, and 12 local Kedah-Kelantan (KKX) crosses.
These animals were initially checked for absence of pregnancy via palpation per rectum. Blood samples for progesterone analysis
were obtained twice a week for 2 to 3 months following their spontaneous oestrous cycle, and all animals were rechecked for
pregnancy at the end of the study. Progesterone analysis indicated that 33.9% of the total animals were having AOC: 18.9%
with cessation of ovarian cyclicity, 9.4% with prolonged luteal phases (PLP), and 5.7% short luteal phases. The highest incidence
was observed in Brangus crosses (62.5%), followed by Braford crosses (43.8%), and Friesian crosses (35.3%). In contrast, no
AOC was observed in the local KKX breeds, and all of them were found to be pregnant at the end of the study. A significant
difference (p < 0.05) in the incidence of AOC and its type was observed between Kedah-Kelantan crosses and the other breeds. Although not
significant (p > 0.05), Friesian crosses showed a higher percentage incidence of AOC than beef cows (40% vs 36.4%), with major types being
PLP (26.7%) in dairy and cessation of ovarian cycle (27.3%) in beef cows. Compared with beef heifers, beef cows showed a higher
percentage of AOC (36.4% vs 28.6%) where again, cessation of cyclicity was the predominant abnormality. In conclusion, AOC
reflected by abnormal endocrine pattern is a possible cause of reduction in fertility for dairy and beef cows beyond 90 days
postpartum and heifers that fail to conceive. 相似文献

The growth of Acropora in Sekisei Lagoon was investigated in situ using ceramic coral settlement devices (CSDs) and marine blocks (MBs) with small
holes on their surfaces that were deployed prior to a mass spawning event. Acropora that had settled in 10-mm holes on the upper surface of the MBs were found to have grown inwards after 348 days post-mass
spawning. After 733 days, the colonies had grown outwards, encrusting the blocks and attaining a maximum diameter of 21.5 mm
(3.7 mm). CSDs that had been stacked above each other on frames were separated and observed in situ on 405 and 764 days after
mass spawning. After 405 days, the maximum diameter of the encrusting Acropora was 7.6 mm (±2.4 mm), which increased to 19.4 mm (±5.5 mm) after 764 days, with 30% of colonies extending short branches.
The length of the branches of Acropora grown on the CSDs fixed to the MBs 3 months after the mass spawning event exceeded the size of the encrusting portion of
the colony 629 days after spawning. The mortality of colonies between 1 and 2 years was slight, with the temperatures conducive
to coral bleaching that occurred during the study also having only a slight effect. 相似文献

The involvement of carbohydrates, water potential, cell wall components and cell wall-based enzymes in regulating flower development in Dendrobium crumenatum was investigated. Plants were subjected to cold treatment to release floral buds from dormancy, and the various parameters were investigated from young floral bud stage till flower senescence. Development of floral buds was accompanied by progressive decrease in concentrations of fructans and starch. Upon full flower opening, concentration of soluble sugars was maximum, accompanied by a more negative water potential. High pectin methylesterase activity was observed during early bud development and decreased thereafter. Significant increase in activities of β-galactosidase, β-mannosidase and β-xylosidase was also observed during floral bud development. The cell walls of sepals and petals were modified extensively during floral bud and flower development, as observed by changes in the amounts of celluloses, hemicelluloses and total pectin. Pectin solubilisation was also observed to commence during early floral bud development. These results indicated that carbohydrate hydrolysis, osmotic changes and cell wall dissolution that began early in young floral buds, all regulated flower development in this sympodial orchid. Possible applications of the findings in the horticultural industry are discussed. 相似文献
