(a.) Belonging to rivers; growing or living in streams or ponds; as, a fluvial plant.
Example Sentences:
(1) Fluvial On floodplains when a river breaks its banks due to rainfall, snow or ice melt exceeding the capacity of the water course.
(2) Relatively little attention has been given to the long term prospect of fluvial transport processes redistributing Chernobyl-derived radiocaesium within the UK.
(3) The importance of fluvial redistribution as a secondary contamination mechanism is thus highlighted.
(4) The fragment was embedded in a pebbly quartzose sandstone, probably of fluvial origin, in the lower part of the Triassic Fremouw Formation (as yet undefined), which contains Dicroidium in the upper part.
(5) Acanthobdella peledina was first found in the basin of Lake Baikal on the fluvial form of the Balkal grayling Thymallus arcticus baicalensis and Coregonus lavaretus pidschian from the Upper Angara.
(6) Regional investigation of the impact of farming on shallow aquifers in the fluvial deposits of the Elbe River in Bohemia has proved the hydrochemical instability and vertical hydrochemical heterogeneity of these aquifers.
(7) • Fluvial flooding from rivers bursting their banks or overflowing • Groundwater flooding happens when the earth is saturated and can hold no more water • Flash flooding is usually at its worst when drainage systems in urban areas are overwhelmed by sudden heavy rainfall, often worsened by the concreting over of large areas of soil and gardens that would otherwise have helped to absorb the water As the government’s Centre for Ecology and Hydrology notes , “the full gamut of flood manifestations – tidal, pluvial (flash), fluvial and groundwater – has been experienced over the last eight weeks.” Who’s at risk of flooding?
(8) During its fluvial life, the ovarian follicular epithelium of Lampetra fluviatilis undergoes polarity formation--in the animal hemisphere the follicular epithelium is flattened, in the vegetative--it undergoes a secretory specialization: as the secrete is accumulating, the follicular cells increase in volume and height, acquiring a cubical form.
Lacustrine
Definition:
(a.) Found in, or pertaining to, lakes or ponds, or growing in them; as, lacustrine flowers.
Example Sentences:
(1) lacustrine region, means of P. falciparum parasitaemia were significantly lower in Hb AS children than in Hb AA children.
(2) The prevalence of malaria and the frequency of gene S were surveyed in two different regions of Benin, savana and coastal lacustrine regions.
(3) The cost of the control element in this combined chemotherapeutic and molluscicidal research project, at 2 lacustrine foci of S. haematobium transmission in the United Republic of Cameroon, was 9 to 10 U.S. dollars per year per head of population protected.
(4) We infer the lake populations have probably experienced at least one, severe, but transitory bottleneck possibly induced by natural selection for life-history characters essential for survival in the lacustrine habitat.
(5) gambiae predominates or is the only species in humid coastal and humid lacustrine areas.
(6) Human infection follows rain forest disturbance; it is postulated that the mycobacterium is carried into draining lacustrine systems where it multiplies over a period of months or years and is then disseminated in aerosol from to re-infect its ancestral home and incidentally to infect man.
