Risk assessment and prediction of heavy metal pollution in sediment of Biliuhe reservoir

Jian Zhao, Hongbo Zheng, Wenjia Zhou
The Biliuhe reservoir, which is one of the most important water sources in Dalian, is the "source of life" of Dalian. To explore the characteristics of heavy metal pollution in Biliuhe reservoir, the potential ecological risk of these heavy metal elements were evaluated by two methods, i.e. geo-accumulation...

Seasonal variations of terrestrial Dissolved Organic Carbon loading in response to rainfall events

Huijiao Qiao, Jian Xu, Jilin Yan
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) loading from lands to rivers in response to rainfall events are the major carbon sources to aquatic ecosystem. We used high-resolution measurements to determine the runoff exports of DOC from the Chippewa River and watershed which was largely dominated by agricultural land-uses....

Livestock-Product Nitrogen-Footprint: a Fresh Method to Assess the Sustainability of Livestock Breeding

Saijun Zhou, Mingjun Deng, Wenbing Luo
Nitrogen-footprint is a new method developed in recent years to measure the impact of reactive nitrogen produced by human activities on the environment. Livestock-product nitrogen-footprint, which is based on life cycle assessment theory (LCA) and nitrogen footprint, is used to define and measure the...
