Geochemical controls on the production and distribution of methylmercury in near-shore marine sediments.
We examined temporal differences in sedimentary production of monomethylmercury (MMHg) at three sites in Long Island Sound (LIS). Sediment-phase concentrations of Hg species decreased from west to east in LIS surface sediments, following the trend of organic matter. However, Hg methylation potentials, measured by incubation with an isotopic tracer (200Hg), increased from west to east. 200Hg met...
متن کاملOccupational Stress and Turnover Intention: Implications for Nursing Management
Background The main purpose of this study was to explore the status of occupational stress among hospital nurses in Isfahan, Iran. It also aimed to examine the relationship between nurses’ occupational stress and their intention to leave the hospital. Methods The study employed a cross-sectional research design. A validated questionnaire was used to collect data from 296 nurses. Respondents w...
متن کاملBiogeochemical Processes and Implications for Nutrient Cycling
The availability and cycling of nutrients is determined by an interaction of physical, chemical, and biological processes in an ecosystem. This interaction of processes, collectively known as biogeochemistry, is important as it determines the forms, transformations, and ultimate fate of nutrients in a given system. This chapter focuses on biogeochemical processes in springs and spring runs with...
متن کاملThe Carbon Cycle and Biogeochemical Dynamics in Lake Sediments
The concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and CaCO 3 in lake sediments are often inversely related. This relation occurs in surface sediments from different locations in the same lake, surface sediments from different lakes, and with depth in Holocene sediments. Where data on accumulation rates are available, the relation holds for organic carbon and CaCO 3 accumulation rates as well. An increa...
متن کاملBiogeochemical arsenic and iron cycling in freshwater sediments
With the relatively recent discovery that millions of people worldwide are affected by arsenic (As) contaminated drinking water, there has been a renewed interest in arsenic sources and biogeochemical processes that lead to As mobilization. Although there are both natural and anthropogenic inputs of As to the environment, elevated As concentrations in groundwater are often due to naturally-occu...
