- Reclamation leads to loss of soil organic carbon and molecular . . .
Both peat and non-peat wetland reclamation resulted in organic carbon loss, and carbon loss from peat wetland reclamation was more severe (p < 0 01) Compared to those in natural wetlands, the relative proportions of both aliphatic and alkyl compounds decreased, and the relative proportions of nitrogenous compounds increased in paddy field soils
- Sea Reclamation in Mainland China: Process, Pattern, and Management
Since 1980, the total reclamation area in mainland China was 896 0 thousand ha, with an ARA of 23 6 thousand ha yr The sea reclamation areas in 1980—1990 and 1990—2000 were similar at 176 25 and 179 53 thousand ha, respectively Sea reclamation area were largest during 2000—2010 but declined slightly during 2010—2018
- Land Reclamation - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Land reclamation is the process of converting contaminated land into useable space Reclamation may be characterized as chemical or physical handling at badly deteriorated sites such as open fuel mines, abandoned crude oil wells, or big sites (Loures et al , 2011)
- Land reclamation and artificial islands: Walking the tightrope between . . .
Land reclamation in Penang began in the early 1800s (City Council of Georgetown, 1966) during the British administration but recent large-scale coastal development projects have contributed to the alteration of the coastline of Penang to make way for transportation and infrastructure (City Council of Georgetown, 1966, Khoo and Wade, 2003)
- Land Reclamation - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Land reclamation for development activities (infrastructure, industrial, recreation, and tourism) often results an adverse impact on mudflats, mangroves, and fish stocks in WCPM Land reclamation off Prai in Penang and Kuala Juru for industrial purposes has threatened cockle farming because of high levels of heavy metals and sedimentation
- Spatial-temporal impacts of landscape metrics and uses of land . . .
Reclamation is a traditional activity that creates land resources from the ocean Over the past few decades and along with fast urbanisation, land reclamation has been applied as a common and important approach by coastal cities in many countries to supply land for urbanisation and development (Wang et al , 2014), such as those reported in China (Shi et al , 2022), Netherlands (Hoeksema, 2007
- ‘Making Bombay Island’: land reclamation and . . . - ScienceDirect
The reclamation work therefore combined European and non-European labour and knowledge, much in the same vein as V S Candiani has recently outlined for the Desaguë in Mexico City 70 A crucial distinction between these two cases is that in Bombay the reclamation did not seek to replace indigenous with European agricultural practices The
- Modeling the influences of land reclamation on . . . - ScienceDirect
Land reclamation may have significant influences on groundwater systems but this problem has not been adequately studied Using FEFLOW (Diersch, 2005), a three-dimensional finite element groundwater model, the response of the groundwater system on the impact of land reclamation in the Shekou peninsula from 1983 to 2007 was simulated
