Soil respiration in different agricultural and natural ecosystems in an arid region
(Public Library of Science, 2010-10)The variation of different ecosystems on the terrestrial carbon balance is predicted to be large. We investigated a typical arid region with widespread saline/alkaline soils, and evaluated soil respiration of different ... -
Soil respiration in different agricultural and natural ecosystems in an arid region
(Public Library of Science, 2012-10)The variation of different ecosystems on the terrestrial carbon balance is predicted to be large. We investigated a typical arid region with widespread saline/alkaline soils, and evaluated soil respiration of different ... -
Soil TPH concentration estimation using vegetation indices in an oil polluted area of eastern China
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-16)Assessing oil pollution using traditional field-based methods over large areas is difficult and expensive. Remote sensing technologies with good spatial and temporal coverage might provide an alternative for monitoring oil ... -
Sources of upper Permian sedimentary rocks in the Bogda Mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)Both distant Tianshan suture zone and proximal local horsts are possible sources of Upper Permian sedimentary rocks exposed in the BogdaMountains. The Abundance of volcanic grains indicates the former was the main source. ... -
Stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary, Northwest Bighorn Basin; Park County, Wyoming
(Wichita State University, 2018-12)Early Mesozoic stratigraphy in the foreland Rocky Mountains of Wyoming records deposition in a variety of depositional environments and tectonic settings which have led to contrasting interpretations of the stratal ... -
Stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary; Big Horn County, Wyoming
(Wichita State University, 2018-12)The stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary have not been clearly defined due to poor biostratigraphic control. Establishing these relationships is important to develop an understanding of the ... -
Stromatics limestone

Strong light inhibits germination of Artemisia sphaerocephala and A. ordosica at low temperature and its relevance to revegetation in sandy lands of Inner Mongolia, China
(Springer Verlag, 2010-06)Artemisia sphaerocephala and A. ordosica are two dominant shrub species in Mu Us sandy land (Inner Mongolia, China) and are widely used for vegetation restoration. However, there are two different conclusions about the ... -
The study of the effect of long term water cover on the mill tailings of the Silver Lake Mill # 1, near Silverton, Colorado.
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)Mining and milling of metals were the primary industries in the study area for most of the late 1800's into theearly 1900's. Wastes from the mining and milling processes are abundant in the area and present significant ... -

The application of sandstone to reduce limestone armoring in acid mine drainage
(Wichita State University, 2018-05)Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a significant environmental problem in most countries that have an extensive history of mining. AMD refers to the acidic water that can be produced during hard and soft rock mining. Acidic ... -
The cage model of global learning
(EdItLib, 2004)Global learning is at the heart of the development of multiple perspectives from other cultures. Modern information and communication technologies facilitate the development of learning relationships that lead to multiple ... -
The imbalance of nature
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)It is a quiet spring evening by a lake in eastern Canada. The sun is disappearing behind the distant beech trees. The sound of Loons singing drifts across the water. There is a perfect scene of peace and tranquillity. With ... -
The impact of natural organic matter on the surface reactivity of goethite nanoparticles: exploring mineralorganic contact time, pH, and ionic strength
(Wichita State University, 2017-12)Hexavalent chromium, a toxic heavy metal generated by various industrial processes, can have dire consequences on groundwater resources. A potential low-cost and non-toxic remediation method is to use goethite nanoparticles, ... -
The investigation of possible stratospheric origin of ozone presence at the surface at night, using HYSPLIT trajectory analysis
(Wichita State University, 2021-05)IMPORTANCE: On August 2, 2012, high tropospheric ozone levels, above the EPA limit of 75 parts per billion by mass, were forecast for Wichita, Kansas. Trajectories for ozone transport were examined using two software ... -
Third Place Learning environments: Perspective sharing and perspective taking
(International Association of Online Engineering, 2009-11)In this paper we deliberate on intercultural and global communication strategies of perspective sharing and perspective taking, and potential perspective transformation. Consideration to these strategies is given within ... -
