In Piedmont impoundments in Georgia, as well as lakes and impoundments throughout the world, accelerated eutrophication of lakes causes detrimental ecological effects such as algal blooms, lake anoxia and toxic metal release from sediments. It often renders water unsafe for agricultural use, recreation and drinking. To reduce the eutrophication of local Piedmont impoundments, recent regulatory ...

The effect of physiographic region on microfibril angle (MFA) in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) ia the southern United States was evaluated. MFA was determined at 1.4,4.6,7.6, 10.7, and 13.7 m up the stem of 59 trees, representing five physiographic regions. A nonlinear mixadeffects model was developed to test for regional differences in the initial value of MFA, the rate at which MFA changes w...

Sediment from two Georgia Piedmont impoundments and soil from the Georgia Piedmont Bt horizon were incubated with an easily consumable organic carbon substrate in an anaerobic environment to observe iron reduction and phosphorus release. 97% of porewater iron in the Bt horizon soil, 96% of porewater iron in Lake Lanier sediments, and 93% of porewater iron in Lake Oglethorpe sediments was reduce...

Features of gully morphometry and associated relief characteristics emphasize that gully develop under a wide variety of rock conditions, rainfall regimes, geomorphic predisposition, and human influence. Consequently, many slopes within piedmont areas, in this case, the Getic Piedmont, are characterized by dense gully systems, as there occur excessive clearing, inappropriate land use, compactio...

Piedmont tectonic belts are rich of oil and gas resources, however the intense tectonic stress and broken formation may cause great drilling problems in piedmont structures such as borehole collapse, lost circulation and gas cutting. Through analysis of in situ stress properties, bedding structure and mechanical characteristics, wellbore instability mechanism was expounded from rock mechanics, ...

Emissions of nitric oxide (NO) were measured during the summer of 1995 from 4 crops, located at three different sites throughout North Carolina. These sites were chosen to represent major physiographic regions of the Southeast US, in an effort to compare fluxes from different agriculturally managed soils. Emission rates were determined using a dynamic flow-through chamber system. In order to un...

Firstly, Britain was alarmed by the French ambition of Napoleon III. After the Crimean War in 1859, Britain preferred a strong Italy to counter-balance France. On the other hand, she was also sympathetic to Italy. So she gave diplomatic support to Piedmont by proposing a plebiscite in the central duchies and warned Austria and France not to give support to the rulers of central Italy. This led ...
