We explored the seasonal characteristics in wet deposition chemistry for two sites located at different elevations along the east slope of the Colorado Front Range in Rocky Mountain National Park. Seasonally separated precipitation was stratified into highly concentrated (high salt), dilute (low salt), or acid-dominated precipitation groups. These groups and unstratified precipitation data were...

Monitoring solutes in precipitation inputs and stream water exports at small watersheds has greatly advanced our understanding of biogeochemical cycling. Surprisingly, although inputs to and outputs from ecosystems are instrumental to understanding sources and sinks of nutrients and other elements, uncertainty in these fluxes is rarely reported in ecosystem budgets. We illustrate error propagat...

This study deals with the characteristics of throughfall produced by vine (Vitis vinifera L.) in one of the most common pedoclimatic conditions for grape production: a soil derived from marine sediments under a temperate Mediterranean climate, and located rather close to the seacoast. To distinguish the contribution of the plant from that of the atmospheric deposition, the throughfall was colle...

Abstract The objective of the study is chemical synthesis ZnO powders, from ZnCl 2 and NaOH solutions according to an appropriate procedure. powders (a) (b) obtained underwent various characterizations such as: optical microscopy, SEM, UV, BET, IR, XRD antimicrobial activity. results showed inhomogeneous distribution, nanometric size, absorbance at 353 346 nm specific surface 25.701 30.534 cm /...

In a companion paper [Taron J, Elsworth D, Min K-B. Numerical simulation of thermal–hydrologic– mechanical–chemical processes in deformable, fractured porous media. Int J Rock Mech Min Sci 2009; doi:10.1016/j.ijrmms.2009.01.008] we introduced a new methodology and numerical simulator for the modeling of thermal–hydrologic–mechanical–chemical processes in dual-porosity media. In this paper we ut...
