Rapid Phytate Quantification in Manures and Runoff Sediments using HPIC
… (P) fractions in manures and agricultural runoff is vital to understanding P dynamics in the environment. Phytate is an organic form of P, with 6 phosphate groups, which is found in manures, but is difficult to quantify due to its affinity for complex formation with aluminum (Al) and iron …

A study of the geochemical behaviour of anthropogenic platinum-group elements in a mixed urban-rural catchment: the River Stour, Kent, U.K.
A baseline survey of contemporary fluvial sediments in the Kentish Stour, east Kent, England, has been undertaken to document the sources and distribution patterns of anthropogenic PGE in an attempt to constrain some of the physical and chemical parameters that may influence the distribution of …

Evaluation of management practices and remediation techniques for improving water quality in agricultural systems
… chemical composition of organic matter in the runoff sediments were characterized. Separate studies were conducted to evaluate predictive relationships for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in agricultural effluents, and the effectiveness of bauxite residues (red and brown muds) in reducing …

Impacts of Land Use and Land Cover Changes, and Climate Variability on Hydrology and Soil Erosion in the Upper Ruvu Watershed, Tanzania
… headwater and watershed scales; estimate surface runoff, sediments and Curve Number at plot scale, and model streamflow responses to changes in land use and land cover using the SWAT watershed model. Results indicate that areas covered by forest decreased from 17% in 1991 to 4% of the total …
