Naturally Occurring Contaminants in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Crystalline-Rock Aquifers and Piedmont Early Mesozoic Basin Siliciclastic-Rock Aquifer
ISBN: 9781500275570 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Groundwater quality and aquifer lithologies in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Physiographic Provinces in the eastern United States vary widely as a result of complex geologic history. Bedrock composition (mineralogy) and geochemical conditions in the aquifer directly affect the occurrence (presence in rock and groundwater) and distribution (concentration and mobility) of potential naturally occurring contaminants, such as arsenic and radionuclides, in drinking water. To evaluate potential relations between aquifer lithology and the spatial distribution of naturally occurring contaminants, the...

ISBN: 9781505694420 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soil, water, and vegetation are the operating capital in the business of land management. Sustainable production of goods, values, and services from renewable resources is possible without depreciation of initial operating capital under proper management - an enviable situation in most businesses. As in any business, however, an inventory of resources is essential. Changing social and economic values require the capability to evaluate potential resource availability as well as the present situation. Resource inventories establish a baseline to evaluate levels of use that do not depreciate or...

Though riparian areas are not abundant in the landscape, they have great historical significance. The provide a variety of useful products, such as water, forage, and firewood. Additional values such as biological diversity, water storage, and sediment trapping have more recently been attributed to riparian areas. However the ability of a given site to provide this range of products may be dependent upon the quality of the vegetation present. For example, a stand of coyote willow will provide building materials for beaver, whereas a stand of Nebraska sedge will not. Yet the dense root mass of...

ISBN: 9781505697650 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Grazing management in riparian-wetland areas has been a major issue facing rangeland managers for more than three decades. In the late 1960s, growing concern about the environment prompted landowners, land managers, land users, and a highly interested public to take a critical look at land management practices, with an eye toward reducing adverse environmental consequences resulting from use of the land. That critical look identified management of livestock grazing in riparian- wetland areas as a significant issue that has assumed permanence on both private and public grazing lands.
