The long-term apparent rate of carbon accumulation, determined by 14C dating of the carbon stored in different layers in the peat profile, decreased from the edge to the interior of the peatland, with the highest accumulation rate in at the Rhizophora site (102.2 g C m−2 y−1) and the lowest in the deeper peat layers at the Cyperus site (45.6 g C m−2 y−1).
As expected, hepatopancreas of crayfish showed the highest accumulation rate for the majority of evaluated metals.
The highest accumulation rate is seen between 1 and 1,5 h of vinblastine treatment while the highest volume at 6 h.
The early evolution of the lobe recorded very high accumulation rates.
Forest regrowth varies considerably over forest succession, with high accumulation rates in the first stages and declining over time [4, 9].
Recent work at the Summit site, Greenland, found a potentially minimal influence of photolysis on the isotopic composition of in firn and ice, in part due to high accumulation rates [18].
The very low activities observed were due in part to high accumulation rates and the dilution effect of the radioisotope in the large mass of sediment, and in part to generally low 137Cs fallout at this latitude (see discussion in Szczuciński et al., 2009).
The Central European loess bodies in hilly regions, with their high accumulation rates, frequently provide relatively high-resolution "floating" stratigraphies containing both climatic signals common to Europe, and minor peaks arising from local factors such as slope processes, discontinuity events or their palaeometeorological location in the former ice age landscape.
Conversely, the distance-based species accumulation curve shows higher accumulation rates at larger scales, suggesting that distance between sites, and thus connectivity, becomes more important at these scales.
We also suggest that higher accumulation rates would produce a maximum depression of about 5% in potential growth rate.
