Denitrification activity in mangrove sediments varies with associated vegetation
(Elsevier, 2016)
To test the hypothesis that mangrove vegetation associated sediment characteristics could influence an ecologically important function such as denitrification, a study was carried out at the Divar mangrove ecosystem in ...
Coupling of bacterial nitrification with denitrification and anammox supports N removal in intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Microbial activity measurements and molecular approaches were combined to study temporal variation in nitrogen (N) removal mechanisms from muddy and sandy intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France). Stable isotopes ...
Relationship of sediment-biochemistry, bacterial morphology, and activity to geotechnical properties in the central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Distribution of biochemical properties, morphological and functional characteristics of bacteria in the extreme sedimentary environment of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) was examined in relation to geotechnical properties ...
Mass mortality of macrobenthos in a biodiverse rocky beach- Impact of a minor oil spill
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2016)
A field survey was carried immediately post an accidental oil spill at rocky intertidal zone of Uran. Mass mortality of macrobenthos was observed at spillage site whereas reference site harboured diverse and live macrobenthic ...
Crustal structure and rift tectonics across the Cauvery–Palar basin, eastern continental margin of India based on seismic and potential field modelling
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016)
The Cauvery–Palar basin is a major peri-cratonic rift basin located along the Eastern Continental Margin of India (ECMI) that had formed during the rift-drift events associated with the breakup of eastern Gondwanaland ...
Assessment of heavy metals and estimation of human health risk in Tilapia fish from Naik lake of Nagpur, India
(Academic Journals, 2016)
Gills and muscles of Tilapia fish from Naik lake of Nagpur city were estimated for heavy metals (Zinc, Lead, Nickel, Copper and Cadmium) using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results ...
Bioactive alkaloids from marine sponges
(2016)
Marine sponges are considered to be a rich source of biologically active secondary metabolites with unique and diverse chemical structures. They constitute nearly one third of the secondary metabolites isolated from marine ...
Geochemical characteristics of gold bearing boninites and banded iron formations from Shimoga greenstone belt, India: Implications for gold genesis and hydrothermal processes in diverse tectonic settings
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper is the first documentation of boninites from the Kudrekonda Formation of Shimoga greenstone belt (SGB) in western Dharwar Craton (WDC), India and the occurrence of native gold in the associated quartz veins. We ...
Evaluation of the influence of monsoon climatology on dispersal and sequestration of continental flux over the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Associated with the coupled land–ocean heating–cooling, seasonal reversal of monsoon winds regulates hydrography, precipitation, upwelling, fluvial influx and a host of biogeochemical processes. We evaluate the role of the ...
Major mechanisms of atmospheric moisture transport and their role in extreme precipitation events
(Annual Reviews, 2016)
We review the major conceptual models of atmospheric moisture transport, which describe the link between evaporation from the ocean and precipitation over the continents. We begin by summarizing some of the basic aspects ...
