Mechanisms of natural attenuation of arsenic (As) by wetland plants may be classified by plant uptake and adsorption and/or co-precipitation by iron (oxy)hydroxide formed on the root surface of plants or in rhizosediment. A natural Cattail (Typha spp.) wetland impacted by tailings containing high levels of As from the Myungbong abandoned Au Mine, South Korea was selected, and the practical capa...

a r t i c l e i n f o The increasing fragmentation and degradation tendency of estuarine wetlands due to rapid urbanization in coastal areas exert the urgent need to quantify the structural characteristic of wetland network, which involves the fragmentized wetland patches for wetland restoration and conservation. Although wetland networks have already been used for conservation planning on a re...

This paper presents a new color image enhancement technique based on modified modified MultiScale Retinex (MSR) algorithm and visual quality of the enhanced images are evaluated using a new metric, namely, Wavelet Energy (WE). The color image enhancement is achieved by downsampling the value component of HSV color space converted image into three scales (normal, medium and fine) following the c...

PURPOSE: One of many potential uses of the hydrogeomorphic (HGM) approach for assessing wetland functions is the monitoring of newly restored wetland sites to determine how quickly wetland functions develop and whether function-based mitigation objectives are being met. This technical note presents a case study of the application of the Western Kentucky Low-Gradient Riverine Guidebook to monito...

Wetland, as one of the weakest ecosystems in the world, is deteriorating rapidly in many regions. Longfeng wetland is the biggest urban wetland in China, located in the inner of Daqing city, Heilongjiang Province. It is divided into two areas by Wolong road, the east is provincial natural reserve and the west is unprotected. This paper describes a remote sensing change detection approach used t...

Wetland is a unique ecosystem, rich in biodiversity. It is not only a valuable land resource, it also protects rare animals and plants, therefore it is of high economic value and scientific significance. This paper studies the present situation and development trends of wetland in Guangdong Province, China, with remote sensing technology. The total wetland area of Guangdong Province is 1 864 10...

wetland functions is the monitoring of newly restored wetland sites to determine how quickly wetland functions develop and whether function-based mitigation objectives are being met. This technical note presents a case study of the application of the Western Kentucky Low-Gradient Riverine Guidebook to monitoring the development of wetland functions on a number of bottomland hardwood forest site...

Fish were collected from Nath Sagar, Paithan 50 kms away from Aurangabad and were brought to the laboratory and exposed to industrial effluent (tannery effluent). Behavioral changes and responses of the fish to the tannery effluent were observed. Control fish showed normal behaviour and swimming in contrast the effluent exposed fish showed abnormal swimming, loss of equilibrium, fading of colou...
