Determining potential for microbial atrazine degradation in agricultural drainage ditches.
Passage of agricultural runoff through vegetated drainage ditches has been shown to reduce the amount of pesticides, such as atrazine, exiting out of agricultural watersheds. Previous studies have found that microbial communities in soil from fields treated with atrazine display enhanced rates of atrazine degradation. However, no studies have examined the potential for atrazine degradation in d...
متن کاملNutrient mitigation capacity in Mississippi Delta, USA drainage ditches.
Eutrophication and hypoxia within aquatic systems are a serious international concern. Various management practices have been proposed to help alleviate nutrient loads transported to the Gulf of Mexico and other high-profile aquatic systems. The current study examined the nutrient mitigation capacity of a vegetated (V) and non-vegetated (NV) agricultural drainage ditch of similar size and landf...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Wetland Hydraulic Characteristics of Vegetated Drainage Ditches
Small vegetated drainage ditches play an important role in water and nutrient removal, but may cause water blocking problems. The aim of this study was to investigate vegetated drainage ditches’ hydraulic and wetland hydraulic characters. Field experiment were carried out, small drainage ditches with Juncus, Zizania latifolia, and Acorus calamus were selected under different water flows, and a ...
متن کاملChanging Coastal Weather and Extremes
Hardly any area in the whole world is undergoing such dynamical environmental and social change as the coastal regions of the world. Approximately 20% of the world’s human population live within 30 km of the sea, and nearly double that number live within the nearest 100 km of the coast (IPCC 2001). Furthermore, a big part of economic activities is going on in these areas. In the coastal environ...
متن کاملWeather Conditions, Weather Information and Car Crashes
Road traffic safety is the result of a complex interaction of factors, and causes behind road vehicle crashes require different measures to reduce their impacts. This study assesses how strongly the variation in daily winter crash rates associates with weather conditions in Finland. This is done by illustrating trends and spatiotemporal variation in the crash rates, by showing how a GIS applica...
