Heavy metals emitted by vehicles have the potential to accumulate in soil near roadways, threatening the health of soil, plants, animals, and humans. This study evaluates Pb, Zn, and Cu levels in forest O‐horizons, mineral soil, and earthworms near busy roadways in the metro‐Washington, DC area. The study sites comprised road‐edge environments with...

Land use changes and reforestation impact soil phosphorus (P) distribution over extended periods. This study examines P distribution in forest development from 1957 to 2017 at the Calhoun Critical Zone Observatory in South Carolina. Tracking changes in 0–60 cm mineral soil P fractions through six samplings in eight continuously uncut plots and eigh...
Chapter
Soil phosphorus (P) chemistry changes during ecosystem development and soil formation. These P transformations occur through both time and space as P is cycled into secondary compounds and translocated down slopes and through the soil profile by erosion and leaching. Over decades, the slow cycling of organic and occluded P fractions can modulate so...
Article
Full-text available
Human actions through land-use can alter soil phosphorus (P) distribution over time and space as vegetation is altered and added fertilizer P is translocated downslopes by runoff and erosion, or through the soil profile by leaching. In the southeastern US Piedmont, a more than 100-year period of human land-use of forest clearing and farming, which...
Chapter
The critical zone encompasses terrestrial and aquatic systems that extend from local (soil pedon) to continental (watershed) scales, with heterogeneous fate and transport processes across these systems and scales. We present an exploratory analysis of carbon and nutrient fluxes on a Southeastern US landscape: from forest soils, subsurface transport...
Poster
Slowly cycling P fractions have a significant role in soil P bioavailability in time scales longer than a growing season. The objective of this study is to evaluate P fractions and P bioavailability in Piedmont Ultisols that supported forest development from 1962 to 2017. Soil samples were collected from four depths (0-7.5, 7.5-15, 15-35, and 35-60...

In the Southeast United States (U.S.), the climate is predicted to be warmer and have more severe drought in the summer. Decreasing rainfall in summer months should create more severe soil drying, which will eventually affect re-wetting cycles deeper in the soil profile. Changing drying-wetting cycles in this deeper portion of the profile may impac...
Poster
The Calhoun Experimental Forest in the Piedmont of South Carolina has a history of forest clearing for agriculture, severe surface soil erosion, agricultural abandonment, and reforestation. This combination makes Calhoun a unique place to consider the landscape scale redistribution of P. The spatial distribution and chemical state (e.g., organic or...

Salinity management is becoming a critical environmental issue for municipalities across nations. Wastewater effluent must remain a viable water resource for irrigation of crops and indirect potable use through groundwater recharge. The aim of this study was to investigate to what degree Ceratophyllum demersum (C. demersum) decreases salinity in aq...
Article
Full-text available
Ammonium removal from wastewater has been of considerable concern for several decades. This study focused on nitrogen removal by Ceratophyllum demer-sum. Treatments included raw municipal wastewater (RMW), treated municipal waste-water (TMW), and diluted fresh latex (DFL). Results showed the Ceratophyllum demer-sum reduced ammonium and nitrate more...

Water pollution has always been a major problem in the environment. Polluted water is harmful for human health, thus, there is the need to clean water from polluting factors. One of the economical and rapid methods for removing elements is displacement of metals by biosorption. Three treatments in four replications for purifying wastewater by Cerat...

Water is one of the most stable and abundant complexes on nature that can be polluted with natural and human factors. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a timely warning for possible accumulation of polluting metal in natural waters in order to protect public health. One of the economic and rapid methods for elements removal is displacement of me...

Trace element contamination in aquatic ecosystems is one of the most important concerning of environmental health. Submerged aquatic plants can be used for the removal of Trace elements. The aim of this study was to investigate how Ceratophyllum demersum could affect on wastewater quality for recycling the wastewater to reuse for other purposes in...

Question
How to define a new matrix to Gallery data base? Also, are there any particular chemical solutions or digestion methods that should be used specifically for the Gallery?
Question
We tried to install the XRF software on an extra laptop but we found some strange software errors. When we want to connect the instrument to the laptop and push the green light, an error message appears. The error message said that No valid response was received from the instrument. The software was installed from the original CD of the instrument.
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me to solve the problem.
