Sensitivity of fluvial sediment source apportionment to mixing model assumptions: A Bayesian model comparison
Mixing models have become increasingly common tools for apportioning fluvial sediment load to various sediment sources across catchments using a wide variety of Bayesian and frequentist modeling approaches. In this study, we demonstrate how different model setups can impact upon resulting source apportionment estimates in a Bayesian framework via a one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) sensitivity analys...
متن کاملComparison Analysis of Particulate Matters in a Micro Environment
Different approaches of source apportionment of dust fractions have been reported world-over. Predicting source categories within receptor chemical profiles using regression and factor analysis using PCA has been reported to evaluate possible source/routes of air pollution mass. The present study is focused on the application of all three approaches to investigate higher degrees of significance...
متن کاملClassification of Nitrate Polluting Activities through Clustering of Isotope Mixing Model Outputs.
Apportionment of nitrate (NO) sources in surface water and classification of monitoring locations according to NO polluting activities may help implementation of water quality control measures. In this study, we (i) evaluated a Bayesian isotopic mixing model (stable isotope analysis in R [SIAR]) for NO source apportionment using 2 yr of δN-NO and δO-NO data from 29 locations within river basins...
متن کاملReconstructing plant root area and water uptake profiles
A major challenge in plant ecology is quantifying how roots interact with the soil to obtain water and nutrients. Stable isotope analysis of hydrogen and oxygen bound in plant and soil water is one of the best and least destructive methods for elucidating plant-soil interactions. Plant roots obtain water from various depths in the soil and the isotopic signature of plant stem water reflects the...
متن کاملIsotopes for improved management of nitrate pollution in aqueous resources: review of surface water field studies.
BACKGROUND Environmental agencies have to take measures to either reduce discharges and emissions of nitrate or to remediate nitrate-polluted water bodies where the nitrate concentrations exceed threshold values. Isotope data can support the identification of nitrate pollution sources and natural attenuation processes of nitrate. REVIEW This review article gives an overview of the information...
