English

Subject field(s)
  • Solid Fossil Fuels
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
CONT

Coal basins which have originated near the sea are called "basins;" and coal deposits which were formed inland "limnic deposits." This classification goes back to Naumann. Recent peat bogs can also be similarly classified. In the interior of a country - for instance, on the northern edge of the Alps - are found limnic moors, while the paralic moors are situated on the coast, as in Friesland.

OBS

[Also] said of peat formed beneath a body of standing water. Its organic material is mainly planktonic.

OBS

PHR

Limnic bed, deposit, moor, quartzite, sediment.

Subject field(s)
  • Ecosystems

  • Plant Biology
DEF

Relating to freshwater environments, like lakes and rivers.

CONT

"Stress in Limnic Ecosystems" presents new fundamental approaches to the ecotoxilogical evaluation of inshore waters, focusing on the interaction between humic and synthetic substances, which are manufactured and introduced into the environment (xenobiotics), as well as the effects of such stressors, which interfere with the hormone balance of organisms that live in inshore waters.

PHR

Limnic conditions, limnic ecosystem, limnic environment, limnic species.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écosystèmes
  • Biologie animale
  • Biologie végétale
CONT

Les recherches réalisées par le groupe bassin versant de l'UMR CARRTEL (Centre alpin de recherche sur les réseaux trophiques des écosystèmes limniques) à l'INRA Thonon ont pour objet les transferts de polluants des bassins versants agricoles et ruraux aux écosystèmes aquatiques. Il s'agit de comprendre les mécanismes et ordres de grandeur des transferts de polluants (nutriments, sédiments et contaminants fécaux) de ce type de bassins versants vers les eaux de surface, afin de concevoir des méthodes de diagnostic (bilans, facteurs de risques, impacts potentiels) des stratégies et des itinéraires techniques pour la maîtrise de ces pollutions, et notamment des pollutions diffuses agricoles.

PHR

Écosystème limnique.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
