Factors influencing oxygen availability.

Factors influencing oxygen availability.

This review gives an account of some of the factors affecting the transport of oxygen from the lungs until its final discharge in the tissues. The sequence of physiological and metabolic processes to be described may be considered collectively as the 'coarse adjust-ment' of oxygen transport. The 'fine adjustment' will be discussed in the succeeding chapter which surveys the local factors influe...

Factors Influencing Oxygen Consumption Rates in Flooded Soils

Thirty-seven surface soil samples varying in physico-chemical properties were incubated under reduced (anaerobic) conditions to study the factors influencing oxygen consumption rates. Oxygen consumption rates were measured after introduction of a known amount of oxygen into a reduced (anaerobic) soil system and following the disappearance of oxygen as a function of time. The time dependence of ...
