Influence of depositional fabric on mechanical properties of naturally deposited sands

Fabric characteristics and shear deformation behaviour were analysed in four intact small-scale samples, including two disturbed and two undisturbed samples of naturally deposited sand from a shoal in the San Francisco Bay. Triaxial compression tests were ...

Associations between inorganic arsenic in rice and groundwater arsenic in the Mekong Delta

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Matthew Charles Reid

There is growing concern regarding human dietary exposure to arsenic (As) via consumption of rice. The concentration and speciation of As in rice are highly variable, and models describing rice As speciation as a function of environmental covariates remain ...

Variability in arsenic methylation efficiency across aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Karen Elda Viacava Romo, Arnaud Michel Gelb, Leia Soraya Véronique Falquet, Shannon Eliot Dyer, Adrien Mestrot

Microbially-mediated methylation of arsenic (As) plays an important role in the As biogeochemical cycle, particularly in rice paddy soils where methylated As, generated microbially, is translocated into rice grains. The presence of the arsenite (As(III)) m ...

Methylation of arsenic by single-species and soil-derived microbial cultures

Karen Elda Viacava Romo

Arsenic (As) is simultaneously a ubiquitous and a toxic element. Arsenic is subject to bio-transformations catalyzed by microorganisms constituting the As biogeochemical cycle. The primordial Earth was devoid of oxygen, exposing life to the highly mobile a ...

Arsenic methylation dynamics in a rice paddy soil anaerobic enrichment culture

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Julien Maillard, Alexandre Bagnoud, Leia Soraya Véronique Falquet, Matthew Charles Reid

Methylated arsenic (As) species represent a significant fraction of the As accumulating in rice grains, and there are geographic patterns in the abundance of methylated arsenic in rice that are not understood. The microorganisms driving As biomethylation i ...

Resequencing 50 accessions of cultivated and wild rice yields markers for identifying agronomically important genes

Jian Wang, Jun Wang, Lei Huang, Xun Xu, Jeffrey David Jensen, Xin Liu, Wen Wang, Chang Yu

Rice is a staple crop that has undergone substantial phenotypic and physiological changes during domestication. Here we resequenced the genomes of 40 cultivated accessions selected from the major groups of rice and 10 accessions of their wild progenitors ( ...

Use of a Distributed Sensor Network to Parameterize a Model of Flows between the Soil, Vegetation, and Atmosphere in a Mixed Savanna-Agricultural Catchment in South Eastern Burkina Faso.

Natalie Claire Ceperley

The hydrologic processes underlying a natural savanna in a semi-arid environment is altered when savanna is converted to agriculture. Inﬁltration is often observed to decrease while rapid runoff increases to the detriment of crop productivity, downstream p ...
