Within this framework, ice processes are given a central function, as they influence and are affected by sediment transport, hydrological conditions, and channel morphology.
As measurements are likely to be affected by sediment turbidity and color, a variation in initial light measurement has been here suggested, in order to consider the sample effect at all time readings during the test.
The objectives of this work were (a) to test the hypothesis that E. coli survival in streambed sediment in the presence of manure material will be affected by sediment texture and organic carbon content and (b) to evaluate applicability of the exponential die-off equation to the E. coli survival data in the presence of manure material.
Moreover, the area of the GBR affected by sediment inputs is increasing substantially as a result of changing land management practices, to the point where fine terrestrial sediment is reaching mid-shelf reefs for the first time in their geological history [30].
The nematode communities were mostly affected by sediment layer differences and concomitant trophic conditions rather than other spatial gradients related to study area, water depth or station differences, pointing to small-scale heterogeneity as the main source of variation in nematode structure and function.
The Dundee soil of Site 2 is a typical soil with alluvial stratifications on the lowest terrace next to the river, presently being affected by sediment deposition by the river.
Furthermore, the bioavailability of trace metals is affected by sediment, pH, and redox potential [ 55], and the environmental conditions influence the accumulation processes of living sheaths as well as the degradation processes of dead sheaths.
Branching angles and the depths between ramet basal and sediment surface were only affected by sedimentation depth.
Comparative studies assessing the viability of BNP and nZVI confirmed that particle behavior is severely affected by clay sediments.
It is hypothesized that sediment circulation in the estuary can be separated into two different systems: the "tidal zone" is under the influence of marine sediment from the Pearl River estuary, whereas the "fluvial zone" is mainly affected by terrestrial sediment from the river.
