Accounting for the Nutrients in Reclaimed Water for Landscape Irrigation
No full textThis 8-page fact sheet presents basic information for those using reclaimed water to irrigate lawns and landscapes. The information can serve as a guide to determine whether there is an opportunity to replace some of the fertilizer that might otherwise be applied and to offer guidance on avoiding runoff and leaching of excess nutrients. Written by Christopher J. Martinez, Mark W. Clark, Gurpal S. Toor, George J. Hochmuth, and Lawrence R. Parsons, and published by the UF Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, August 2011. (UF/IFAS photo by Marisol Amador

The role of attachment security in the intergenerational transmission of obesity: a longitudinal study
No full textThis prospective longitudinal study of preschool-aged children (n = 71) and their primary caregivers examined the associations between caregiver weight status, child weight status, and attachment security. I hypothesized that, consistent with previous research, I would find a positive relationship between caregiver and child weight; moreover, I predicted that greater child attachment security would attenuate the link between caregiver and child weight. Findings indicated that although attachment security was not buffering the caregiver-child weight link as hypothesized, it did have a negative, albeit weak, direct effect on child weight. Rather than functioning as a deterrent to this line of work, the mixed support for my hypotheses served as a springboard for thinking about future research. Limitations and a future prospective longitudinal project are discussed.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-12-01The student, Alyssa Parsons, accepted the attached license on 2016-12-06 at 11:58.The student, Alyssa Parsons, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-12-06 at 12:02.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-12-06 at 14:10.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10447 on 2017-02-28 at 14:43:14Made available in DSpace on 2017-03-01T17:02:04Z (GMT).

Efficient preservation of young terrestrial organic carbon in sandy turbidity-current deposits. Geology, 48(9), (2020): 882-887, doi:10.1130/G47320.1.Burial of terrestrial biospheric particulate organic carbon in marine sediments removes CO2 from the atmosphere, regulating climate over geologic time scales. Rivers deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the sea, while turbidity currents transport river sediment further offshore. Previous studies have suggested that most organic carbon resides in muddy marine sediment. However, turbidity currents can carry a significant component of coarser sediment, which is commonly assumed to be organic carbon poor. Here, using data from a Canadian fjord, we show that young woody debris can be rapidly buried in sandy layers of turbidity current deposits (turbidites). These layers have organic carbon contents 10× higher than the overlying mud layer, and overall, woody debris makes up >70% of the organic carbon preserved in the deposits. Burial of woody debris in sands overlain by mud caps reduces their exposure to oxygen, increasing organic carbon burial efficiency. Sandy turbidity current channels are common in fjords and the deep sea; hence we suggest that previous global organic carbon burial budgets may have been underestimated.We thank C. Johnson, M.
