Mixed forest plantations can efficiently filter rainfall deposits of sulfur and chlorine in Western China
Forest filtering is a well-known and efficient method for diminishing atmospheric pollutant (such as SO42- and Cl-) inputs to soil and water; however, the filtering efficiencies of forests vary depending on the regional vegetation and climate. The rainy area of West China has suffered from heavy rainfall and human activity, which has potentially resulted in large amounts of sulfur and chlorine ...
متن کاملModeling of rainfall enhancement by seeding tropical convective clouds
Convective clouds are characterized by strong updrafts, enhanced transport of heat and moisture in the upper layers and rainfall processes which are activated in very limited time interval and space and with a variable intensities. The cloud seeding for rain enhancment of such clouds is a big challenge and common practice in many areas over the world for more than 50 years. There is a strong sc...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Detecting summer rainfall enhancement within metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia USA
This paper presents a methodology for detecting summer rainfall enhancement within a metropolitan area. The chosen study domain is the Atlanta, Georgia USA metropolitan area, and the time period covers summer (i.e. June–August) seasons from 1949 to 2005. In order to determine if observed heavy-rainfall frequencies at nine candidate stations in the metropolitan area are enhanced, predicted frequ...
متن کاملSoil compartment is a major determinant of the impact of simulated rainfall on desert microbiota.
Although desert soils support functionally important microbial communities that affect plant growth and influence many biogeochemical processes, the impact of future changes in precipitation patterns on the microbiota and their activities is largely unknown. We performed in-situ experiments to investigate the effect of simulated rainfall on bacterial communities associated with the widespread p...
