Sentence examples for content of sediments from inspiring English sources

The metal content of sediments from 4 ponds representative of contrasting environments and design was determined through speciation studies using both sequential chemical extraction and mineralogical observation.

We contribute to this debate by presenting the results of a multi-proxy analisys of a 226 cm core (Cruces Core 1 or TC1) that includes geomorphology, diatoms, pollen, magnetic properties, organic matter and carbonate content of sediments.

Table III Extractable arsenic content of sediments.

Furthermore, the increased porosity and water content of sediments, caused by the buildup in fluid pressure, reduce the thermal conductivity and increase the geothermal gradient.

De Winder et al.[5] had very similar results to Underwood and Paterson,[21] but Riethmuller et al.[22] found that the chlorophyll a content of sediments was not correlated with their erodibility and that the results obtained were site specific.

Arsenic adsorption capacity has been related to the content of metal oxides, particularly of Al, Fe, and Mn [ 22, 23], and to the clay content of sediments [ 5].

In summary, biodeposits of F. enigmaticus can enrich the sediment, but crab activity and water currents can disperse the suspended and/or deposited material, decreasing the OM content of sediment close to the reefs.

The addition of biosolids to Illinois River sediments has the potential to increase the organic and nutrient content of the sediments and thus to make these sediments more useful for the reclamation of damaged soils.

In addition, they calculated the volumetric heat capacity using a grain-specific heat (the specific heat capacity per unit mass) of the sediments without pore (approximately 760 Jkg−1 K−1) using the method by Bullard (1954), and the water content values of sediments using the method by Ratcliffe (1960).
