The mass of carbon stored as organic matter in terrestrial systems is sufficiently large to play an important role in the global biogeochemical cycling of CO2 and O2.Field measurements of radiocarbon-depleted particulate organic carbon (POC) in rivers suggest that terrestrial organic matter persists in surface environments over millennial (or great
In the context of recent discussions about the possibility of translating the growth of Latin American economies in the last decade into a process of structural change, we intend to discuss the theoretical capacity of studies of Latin American development to provide a concrete, viable and current proposal in that direction.To do this we will resear
Abstract The family Baetiscidae Edmunds & Traver, 1954 is recognisable among mayflies due to its bizarre larvae, equipped with a robust and spiked thoracic notal shield covering part of the abdomen up to sixth segment.Originally being described as extant species from the USA and Canada, Baetiscidae were later found in the fossil record as well, spe
Car washing bays discharge a wide range of pollutants into water bodies which degrade water quality and affect aquatic ecosystem functions.The study examined the influence of the motor vehicle-washing bay on water quality of River Nakiyanja wetland system.Physicochemical water quality was measured by both in-situ and x-situ following standard BABY
The horizontally polarizing surface parts of shiny black cars (the reflection-polarization characteristics of which are similar to those of water surfaces) attract water-leaving polarotactic insects.Thus, shiny black cars are typical sources of polarized light pollution endangering water-leaving insects.A new fashion fad is to make car-bodies matt
