Spatial variation of nosZ-communities in the low oxygen waters of Prado hydroelectric (south-west of Colombia)
TL;DR: The CCA showed that the nosZ-community composition of Prado dam was related with low pH, oxygen and nitrate recorded in the water column, and the relationship between compositions of operational taxonomic units (OTU) with physicochemical variables was established by canonical correspondence analysis.
Book ChapterDOI
Electric Power Industry
TL;DR: The electric power industry is the branch of power engineering that includes the generation and transmission of electric energy as mentioned in this paper, and the main role of this branch is explained by the advantages of the electric energy over other kinds of energy.
Hydropower developments in Canada: number, size and jurisdictional and ecological distribution
TL;DR: For over 200 years, energy production and consumption, along with all human activities, have been contributing to global warming as discussed by the authors, and this report is part of a project that examines 10 major energy sectors to provide information on Canada's energy options in the face of climate change.
DissertationDOI
Biogeochemical hotspots in fluvial systems: Woody debris and beaver ponds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of large wood on denitrification capacity in two contrasting, lower order streams, one that drains an agricultural watershed with no riparian forest and another that drains a forested watershed with an extensive riparian wood and abundant instream large wood.

Book
Biogeochemistry : An Analysis of Global Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a perspective of the global cycle of nitrogen and phosphorous, the global water cycle, and the global sulfur cycle from a global point of view.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern Peatlands: Role in the Carbon Cycle and Probable Responses to Climatic Warming.
TL;DR: Satellite-monitoring of the abundance of open water in the peatlands of the West Siberian Plain and the Hudson/James Bay Lowland is suggested as a likely method of detecting early effects of climatic warming upon boreal and subarctic peatland environments.

Flux of Gases across the Air-Sea Interface
Peter S. Liss,P. G. Slater +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a two-layer model to estimate the flux of various gases across the air-sea interface has been described, and the model has been used to estimate flux of different gases across different regions of the world.
Book
Water in crisis: a guide to the world's fresh water resources
TL;DR: In this article, an introduction to global fresh water issues is presented. But the authors focus on water quality and health, not just water quality, and do not address the issues of water management and economic development.
