U–Pb ages of detrital zircons in clastic sediments are potential indicators of sedimentary provenance and crustal evolution. To extract geologically significant information from such data, it is necessary that the zircons analysed in the laboratory reflect the sediment from which they were separated. Among other factors, this depends on the number of grains analysed. The probability that a detr...

Trophic interactions are important features of terrestrial ecosystems affecting grazing and detrital food webs and ecosystem processes (Lawrence & Wise, 2000; Schmitz et al., 2000; Wardle et al., 2005; Fukami et al., 2006; Dunham, 2008); however, pathways linking these subsystems have long been ignored. Detrital systems and their processes had been assumed to be primarily donor-controlled (via ...

-Illite polytype quantification allows the differentiation of diagenetic and detrital illite components. In Paleozoic shales from the Illinois Basin, we observe 3 polytypes: 1M d, 1M and 2M~. 1M d and 1M are of diagenetic origin and 2M1 is of detrital origin. In this paper, we compare experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) traces with traces calculated using WILDFIRE 9 and quantify mixtures of al...

In the densely populated region of East Asia, it is important to know the mechanism, scale, and frequency of heavy precipitation brought about during the monsoons and typhoons. However, observational data, which cover only several decades, are insufficient to examine the long-term trend of extreme precipitation and its background mechanism. In humid areas, the transport flux of a suspended detr...

[1] The age-elevation pattern of thermochronologic data has been used for many years to estimate apparent erosion rates in orogenic settings. Recently, it has been suggested that thermochronologic data for detrital minerals from active river system sediments can be used as an effective proxy for bedrock age-elevation distributions, serving as an alternative method for erosion rate studies. This...

Detrital subsidies from marine macrophytes are prevalent in temperate estuaries, and their role in structuring benthic macrofaunal communities is well documented, but the resulting impact on ecosystem function is not understood. We conducted a field experiment to test the effects of detrital decay on soft-sediment primary production, community metabolism and nutrient regeneration (measures of e...

The Southern Highland Group (Dalradian) and Keltie Water Grit Formation, which includes the Lower Cambrian Leny Limestone, form an inverted, 1.4 km thick, largely arenaceous, sequence at Callander. The grits have the same detrital mineralogy throughout, mainly quartz, plagioclase (An1–3), muscovite, and biotite. Chlorite formed from detrital biotite during low-grade regional metamorphism (T<270...

[1] Effects of sediment resuspension-induced benthic detrital flux on the heterotrophic part of the microbial food web in Lake Michigan were examined using a threedimensional (3-D) coupled biological and physical model. The model was driven by the realistic meteorological forcing observed in March 1999. Wind-induced surface wave dynamics were incorporated into the physical model to generate the...
