Impacts of LUCC on soil properties in the riparian zones of desert oasis with remote sensing data: a case study of the middle Heihe River basin, China.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 259-71, (2015) 2015-02-15 Large-scale changes in land use and land cover over long timescales can induce significant variations in soil physicochemical properties, particularly in the riparian zones of arid regions. Frequent reclamation of wetlands and grasslands and intensive agricul... |

Bromine enrichment in marsh sediments as a marker of environmental changes driven by Grand Solar Minima and anthropogenic activity (Caminha, NW of Portugal).
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 554-66, (2015) 2015-02-15 A sediment core collected in Caminha tidal marsh, NW Portugal, was used to assess bromine (Br) signal over the last ca. 1,700 years. The Br temporal variability reflects its close relationship with soil/sediment organic matter (OM) and also alterations in Br ... |

Spatial, temporal, and source variations of hydrocarbons in marine sediments from Baffin Bay, Eastern Canadian Arctic.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 430-43, (2014) 2015-02-15 With declining sea ice conditions in Arctic regions owing to changing climate, the large prospective reservoirs of oil and gas in Baffin Bay and Davis Strait are increasingly accessible, and the interest in offshore exploration and shipping through these regi... |

Joint antibacterial activity of soil-adsorbed antibiotics trimethoprim and sulfamethazine.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 58-65, (2015) 2015-02-15 Trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfamethazine (SMZ) are two antibiotics that are often administered in combination. We investigated the sorption and desorption behaviors of TMP and SMZ individually as single solute and in combination as co-solute in three representat... |

Oxidation of diclofenac by potassium ferrate (VI): reaction kinetics and toxicity evaluation.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 252-8, (2015) 2015-02-15 The reaction kinetics and toxicity of diclofenac (DCF) oxidation by ferrate (VI) under simulated water disinfection conditions were investigated. Experimental results indicated that the reaction between DCF and Fe(VI) followed first-order kinetics with respec... |

A comparative assessment of the transformation products of S-metolachlor and its commercial product Mercantor Gold(®) and their fate in the aquatic environment by employing a combination of experimental and in silico methods.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 369-79, (2015) 2015-02-15 Even appropriately used, pesticides can enter the surface and groundwater by several routes where photochemical degradation along with biotic processes contributes to their fate, resulting sometimes in the formation of stable transformation products (TPs). Ye... |

The influence of facility agriculture production on phthalate esters distribution in black soils of northeast China.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 118-25, (2015) 2015-02-15 The current study investigates the existence of 15 phthalate esters (PAEs) in surface soils (27 samples) collected from 9 different facility agriculture sites in the black soil region of northeast China, during the process of agricultural production (comprisi... |

Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of mercury in African lakes: the importance of trophic status.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 126-36, (2015) 2015-02-15 Despite the global prevalence of both mercury (Hg) contamination and anthropogenic eutrophication, relatively little is known about the behavior of Hg in eutrophic and hypereutrophic systems or the effects of lake trophic status on Hg uptake and trophodynamic... |

Effects of prey assemblage on mercury bioaccumulation in a piscivorous sport fish.
Sci. Total Environ. 506-507 , 330-7, (2015) 2015-02-15 Mercury (Hg) is a persistent global contaminant that biomagnifies, often reaching maximum levels in apex predators. Mercury contamination in piscivorous fish is a serious health risk for anglers and other fish consumers. We used data collected from a reservoi... |
