Aim Species geographic ranges are the ‘fundamental units’ of macroecology. Range size is a major correlate of extinction risk in many groups, and is also critical in studies of biotic responses to climate change. Despite this, there is a lack of

Low molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can intercalate from the solid phase into montmorillonite (Mt) saturated with quaternary alkylammonium ions. However, the interaction and relationship between guest and host organic molecules in t

34 samples of loess-paleosol from the Luochuan and Xifeng sections in the Loess Plateau, northern China were separated into sand, silt and clay fractions and analyzed for their mineral compositions. The results indicate that there is almost no differ

The measurement of the specific surface area of soils may be useful for ranking soils in their ability to sorb polar compounds such as some pesticides and pollutants. For A horizons with varied mineralogy, particularly those containing large amounts

The specific surface area (SSA) of a range of soils has been measured by adsorption of para-nitrophenol (pNP). These surface soils are representative of the major soil groups of New Zealand, varying in mineralogy, clay and organic carbon contents, an

Soil-landscape relationships were investigated in a first-order catchment and a fifth-order catchment of the Waipori River. The soils are formed mainly from loess and loess−colluvium derived fromschist, with limited inclusions of rock material from

Dried digested sewage sludge from the Manukau Purification Plant, Auckland, was mixed at 5 different rates with 4 local soils and used to grow tomatoes in a glasshouse pot trial. Analysis of the sludge showed that it had less heavy metals than most s

Four soils (Umbric Dystrochrepts) formed in loess in eastern Southland, at altitudes of 195-365 m and under a rainfall of 1000 mm to over 1400 mm, were mineralogically and chemically analysed to determine the soil variation in this area, and to estab

Pot trials, in which dried digested sewage sludge from the Levin Treatment Station was applied to two soils, have shown that the treatments improved the growth of lucerne and induced changes in its element composition. Topsoils used in the trial were

A rapid and simple test to distinguish halloysite from kaolinite in mineral mixtures has been developed based on differences in the rate and extent of formamide intercalation. With halloysite, complex formation was both rapid (< 1 hr) and complete, w
