Combined with greater DOC and nutrient loadings, higher water temperatures are likely to lead to a general increase in total stream productivity, although it is unclear whether temperature will have a significant direct effect on the processing rate of additional particulate detrital material. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Heinrich events occurred during times of decreasing sea surface temperatures in the form of brief, exceptionally large discharges of icebergs in the North Atlantic from the Laurentide and European Ice Sheets that left conspicuous layers of detrital material in deep-sea sediments. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Hence, as vegetation shifts from mosses and lichens to grasses and woody species, runoff is very likely to contain increasing concentrations of DOC and particulate detrital material. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Most of the primary productivity is routed through detrital pathways but herbivory can be important, particularly by muskrats and geese. ❋ Unknown (2008)

"The quartzite shows granoblastic and blastopsammitic texture, with grain sizes varying from coarse sand to very fine pebble and with minor microcrystals of sericite, fuchsite, andalusite and iron oxide, besides detrital tourmaline, rutile, and zircon." link ❋ ReBecca Foster (2008)

When the ice begins to break up in spring, the seaweeds are torn from the rocks and enter into the detrital cycle. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Given that the collapse was unique in the past 10,000 years, and given that Domack has shown that global warming is implicated in the collapse, drawing the conclusion that the collapse of the Larson B was natural and evitable is a failure to cross the bridge that Domack has constructed using records of diatoms, detrital material and geochemical parameters from six marine sediment cores. ❋ Unknown (2005)

If the ancient glaciers had been first formed among the highest mountains, and extended downwards into the plains, the largest and highest moraines ought to be the most distant, and to be formed of the most rounded masses; whereas the actual condition of the detrital accumulations is the reverse, the distant materials being widely spread, and true moraines being found only in valleys connected with great chains of lofty mountains. ❋ Various (N/A)

The rim of this lake is composed mostly of detrital rocks, which are rarely exposed. ❋ Various (N/A)
