Sentence examples for sediment feeding from inspiring English sources

The canyons and the slope area show a complex and evolving sediment feeding system with a direct sediment input by the river and irregular sediment supply by submarine landslide.

For the Hg2+ experiment, IR was 30 mg/g/day for algae originating in the water column and 5.2 mg/g/day for sediment feeding.

This supports previous work based on similar data, which hypothesized convergent evolution of recessed nasals associated with sexual displays and sediment feeding in phocids [ 31].

At high SPM treatments (16 mg dw l−1), sediment feeding by this species compensated fully for the 35 47% lower phototrophy in the shaded treatment.

The present activity of deep-sea sedimentary processes is linked to the existence of a direct connection between the Congo River estuary and the Congo canyon head that allows relatively continuous sediment feeding of the deep-sea environment, in spite of a wide continental shelf (150 km).

In the third toxicity study, Pittinger et al. (1989) exposed the filter and deposit feeding Chironomus riparius to natural stream sediments spiked with C11.8 LAS and monitored midge emergence for approximately 24 days (until all midges emerged as adults).

Schreier et al. (1999) has also described the balancing and interaction of soil properties in new water and sediments fed from the river in the monsoon.

The reduced U in the 300 A sediments fed with OA-SGW was relatively resistant to remobilization by oxic Columbia River water.

Oxic Columbia River water resulted in U remobilization (∼7%) through desorption, and most of the U that remained in the 300 A sediments fed with OA-SGW (∼93%) was in the form of uraninite nanoparticles.

Midge larvae, burrowed in the lake sediment, feed on diatoms that float by.

Although Bryant et al. (1995) have shown that avulsion rate is closely correlated with sediment feed rate, it is rather impractical to describe the interaction between geometric factors and avulsion quantitatively.
