Fabrication of redox potential microelectrodes for studies in vegetated soils or biofilm systems

Article Abstract:

A description of the assembly of a redox potential microelectrodes is presented. The microelectrode manufacture involves the drawing of the micropipette tip to accept a thin platinum plating which is used to conduct microcurrent investigations. The microelectrodes retain their effectivity in terms of weeks and is useful in biofilm research or for in-situ experiments in plant-grown soil systems.

Fogwater chemistry at a mountainside forest and the estimation of the air pollutant deposition via fog droplets based on the atmospheric quality at the mountain base

Article Abstract:

Fogwater chemistry has been conducted at Mt. Oyama in Japan to determine air pollutant deposition. Air pollutant concentrations, liquid water content and the fog base altitude estimated from the meteorological data for the mountain base account for the fogwater concentrations. The acid fog found at Mt. Oyama is believed to be one of the major causes of the death of firs at the mountain.
