泥炭混合物对干旱的抵抗力有限,影响了泥炭地碳吸收. 即使有多种物种,这些生态系统也在严重的水表下降的情况下努力维持碳储存.
科学领域:
- 生态系统生态学的生态学.
- 植物社区生态 植物社区生态
- 生物地质化学生物地质化学
背景情况:
- 生物多样性-生态系统功能理论通常将高物种多样性与生态系统稳定性联系在一起.
- 在环境压力下维护泥炭地生态系统过程中,泥炭集群的作用尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究水表吸收对生态系统净二氧化碳交换 (NEE) 在泥炭地的影响.
- 评估泥炭地碳吸收的耐药性,弹性和恢复能力,通过两个同时出现的藻种 (Sphagnum cuspidatum,Sphagnum medium).
主要方法:
- 采用了两种替代系列中宇宙实验.
- 在温和和深水表吸收条件下监测生态系统净二氧化碳交换 (NEE).
主要成果:
- 温和的平面水位下降对NEE产生了积极的影响,无论泥炭的混合物成分如何.

Bioremediation
18.4K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Pozzolans
112
Pozzolans are siliceous or aluminous materials blended with Portland cement. They interact with the calcium hydroxide produced during the hydration of Portland cement and contribute to improved strength and durability of concrete. The pozzolanic activity, a measure of a pozzolan's effectiveness, is typically assessed using the strength activity index, as defined in ASTM C 618-93, which calculates the ratio of the compressive strength of cement mixtures with and without pozzolan.

Mortar Joint Deterioration in Masonry
117
Mortar joint deterioration is a significant concern in masonry structures, with water accumulation in the joints leading to damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The repeated expansion of water during freezing and its melting during thawing develop and propagate cracks in the masonry joints. Eventually, this leads to the spalling of mortar from the joints, loosening masonry units and weakening the structure. The deteriorated mortar joints are also vulnerable to moisture intrusion into the walls.
