ABSTRACT Identifying sediment sources is fundamental for protecting and improving soil water quality. Conventional fingerprinting studies have often collected sediments at the overall watershed outlet only, resulting in an important spatial scale dependency. This study aimed to identify assess delivery patterns of within three priority sub-catchments (Sapocaji, Piedade Minas) located downstream portion Ipojuca River Brazil. research would build on understanding studied by elucidating source...
Soil is one of the Earth's most important natural resources. The presence metals can decrease environmental quality if present in excessive amounts. Analyzing soil metal contents be costly and time consuming, but near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric tools offer an alternative. multivariate calibration method to predict concentrations or physical, chemical physicochemical properties as a tool partial least-squares (PLS) regression. However, large number irrelevant...
The input of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in river basins is a major environmental problem. PTE concentrations are determined using traditional analytical methods, which mostly time consuming, expensive, and reliant on hazardous reagents. An alternative method to chemical analysis near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, allows for the quantification several PTEs through chemometric models. aim this study apply NIR spectroscopy prediction Ipojuca basin, an area exposed potential pollutant...
Infrared spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool to assess soil properties for both environmental science and agriculture. Here, we explore its recent trends developments assessment. This technique is an alternative that counters the limitations of traditional laboratory methods, offering cost-effective non-destructive approach. latest in innovation landscape infrared assessment are explored, providing insights on broad range applications into future trajectory this technology. Firstly,...
