Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationships between Heavy Metal Concentrations in the American Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and Metal Levels in the Water Column and Sediment in Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Larry Robinson, Elijah JohnsonThis study aims to assess baseline concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn) in the oyster soft tissue as they relate to concentrations in the water column (particulate phase) and sediment in Apalachicola Bay. In order to conduct these assessments, a total of 360 samples, collected in two seasons (winter and summer) and were analyzed using atomic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,344 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsReclamation of Irrigated Lands and Improvement of the Groundwater Regime Under Vertical Drainage OperationBalzhan Amanbayeva, Raushan Dzhaisambekova, Alexander Basmanov et al.The aim of the study was to identify patterns of seasonal groundwater-level fluctuations and assess the effectiveness of vertical drainage in regulating the reclamation regime of saline lands in Kazakhstan. The methods included monitoring-well observations, calculation of seasonal amplitudes, Student’s t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson correlation analysis. Before the growing season, groundwater occurred at a depth of 1.5-1.7 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 23 Sep 2026 · 608 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Hydrodynamic Conditions on Algal Organism GrowthBingxin Zhong, Zhifu Wang, Weihua Feng, Baoxing HuangThe growth of algal organisms is influenced by hydrodynamics, making it a crucial aspect of algal biology. We summarize recent studies on the impact of hydrodynamics on algal growth, with a specific focus on current velocity. In the past, extensive attention has been paid to the direct effects of impact factors on algal blooms and there is still a certain … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2024 · 4,932 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the keywordsChanges in the Composition and Properties of Meadow Solonchaks of the Ili Alatau Foothill Plain in the Republic of Kazakhstan during a Long Postmeliorative PeriodZhainagul Yertayeva, Saginbay Kaldybaev, Aigul Kaiyrbekovna BeketovaThe optimal depth of the groundwater table and the water-salt regime is of importance in the postmeliorative period. The scope of these studies is to provide scientifically grounded assessment of previously reclaimed soils (water irrigation with a total norm of 5000 m3/ha under conditions of deep horizontal drainage, 1986-1989) in the postmeliorative period of 2015-2016 and to develop parameters for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 14 Oct 2017 · 7,265 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of the Agricultural Water Management Mechanisms in Zarindasht County, Fars Province, IranAli Asadi, Yaser Mohammadi, Hossein Shabanali FamiProblem statement: Both sequential droughts and lack of water optimal consumption in Zarindasht county, have created scarcity problem that caused agricultural yield’s loss in this county. So according to lack of optimal consumption of agricultural water in this county, the main purpose of this study was to investigate agricultural water management mechanisms in three fields of irrigation sources, water transfer … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,958 accessesView PDF Cite
