Sentence examples for dry sediment from inspiring English sources
Hydrocarbon concentration averaged 124 ± 118 mg kg− 1 dry sediment (n = 78 samples) with peaks at depths of 8, 14, and 20 m below the soil surface (maximum concentration: 606 mg kg− 1).
The analytical method was shown to be linear over the studied range of concentrations (5 100 μg/kg), exhibiting satisfactory repeatability and reaching limits of detection usually in the 0.6 4.6 μg/kg range on dry sediment basis.
These TWC indicators are expressed as numbers of individuals per gram of dry sediment.
The total PAH levels measured among the sites varied from approximately 200 to 125,000 ng/g dry sediment.
Total extractable Pb concentrations, like Zn, are greatest in the uppermost portion of both cores, reaching ~30 μg/g dry sediment in winter (Fig. 20A) and ~20 μg/g dry sediment in spring (Fig. 20B), and decline with depth.
Maximum total extractable Zn concentrations are close to 50 μg/g dry sediment in the winter core (Fig. 19A) and ~30 μg/g dry sediment in the spring core (Fig. 19B).
Very large playas may exhibit dry, sediment-dominated sections and moist, salt-dominated sections.
But for non-obligate pathogens with wide host ranges and saprophytic phases of growth, it is difficult to link the populations deposited by precipitation or dry sediments to a specific source, thereby complicating inference of their dissemination trajectory (Morris et al., 2014b).
The effects of pH and salinity on lysine sorption in wet and dry sediments suggest that carboxyl groups play a major role in lysine sorption through cation ion exchange, and drying may reduce access to carboxyl groups.
Survival of cells over millenia of years in dry sediments or sedimentary rocks on Earth would have important implications for the search for life on other planets, where sediment-like structures exist (Squyres & Knoll, 2005).
A.r. was originally collected from the dry sediments of an Australian billabong, at re-hydration recovers in high percentages and seems to increase its fecundity when compared to a parallel hydrated control [ 15, 17, 18].
