Pattern formation in growing sandpiles with multiple sources or sinks
Adding sand grains at a single site in Abelian sandpile models produces beautiful but complex patterns. We study the effect of sink sites on such patterns. Sinks change the scaling of the diameter of the pattern with the number N of sand grains added. For example, in two dimensions, in presence of a sink site, the diameter of the pattern grows as √ (N/ logN) for large N , whereas it grows as √ ...
متن کاملPhosphorus Retention in Sediments
Phosphate is usually the most important growth limiting nutrient in aquatic environments-The availability of P is the result of external load and retention in the sediments. This latter is the result of a number of transport, microbial and chemical processes. 'The role of P in the productivity in systems and in the eutrophication process has initiated a large number of studies to the behaviour ...
متن کاملSources and sinks of microplastics in Canadian Lake Ontario nearshore, tributary and beach sediments.
Microplastics contamination of Lake Ontario sediments is investigated with the aim of identifying distribution patterns and hotspots in nearshore, tributary and beach depositional environments. Microplastics are concentrated in nearshore sediments in the vicinity of urban and industrial regions. In Humber Bay and Toronto Harbour microplastic concentrations were consistently >500 particles per k...
متن کاملNonpoint Pollution of Surface Waters with Phosphorus and Nitrogen
Agriculture and urban activities are major sources of phosphorus and nitrogen to aquatic ecosystems. Atmospheric deposition further contributes as a source of N. These nonpoint inputs of nutrients are difficult to measure and regulate because they derive from activities dispersed over wide areas of land and are variable in time due to effects of weather. In aquatic ecosystems, these nutrients c...
متن کاملMartian surface/near-surface water inventory: Sources, sinks, and changes with time
Today, a 34m global equivalent water layer (GEL) lies in the Martian polar-layered deposits and shallow ground ice. During the Amazonian, 3m was outgassed, and 31m was lost to space and to the surface, leaving 62m at the end of Hesperian. During the Hesperian, volcanic outgassing added 5m, 7m was lost, and 40m GEL of groundwater was added to form outflow channels, leaving 24m carryover of surfa...
