		The water was smooth and brown, with detritus swirling in the eddies from the increasing current.
		The loose detritus of thought, washed down to us through long ages.
		Detritus derives from the past participle of Latin deterere, "to rub away, to wear out," from de-, "from" + terere, "to rub." It is related to detriment, at root "a rubbing away, a wearing away," hence "damage, harm."

	GUIDELINES FOR MEASUREMENTS OF WOODY DETRITUS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Woody detritus reduces erosion and affects sod development; stores nutrients and water; is a major source of energy and nutrients; serves as a seedbed for plants; and is a major habitat for microbes, invertebrates and vertebrates (Lutz 1940, Anderson et al.
		The minimum dimensions for coarse woody detritus are usually 10 cm diameter at the large end and 1.5 m in length.
		Below-ground woody detritus has rarely been studied, but we recommend that it be divided into buried wood (very decayed material in the mineral soil or forest floor) and dead coarse roots.

	The Infamous Detritivore by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com
		The term "detritus" is actually a word of Latin derivation and it means a "rubbing or wearing away." As is generally understood, detritus is fine particulate material that is eroded off of larger particles.
		Finally, detritus can be composed of inorganic mineral grains resulting from the actions of animals burrowing in live rock or coral skeletons, or from ingested larger mineral grains which are only partially dissolved in digestion.

	Chain D.L.K. - Interview with Detritus
		Detritus: I have considered adding vocals, but would rather steer away from the generic ethereal approach unless it was an integral part of the track, rather than stuck in to try and sound neo-classical.
		Detritus: The voices are taken from various sampled sources, and I play with them a lot, and combine them from different sources to produce an original section.
		Detritus: Yes, it is a major drive behind what I do, but is not intended as a mutually exclusive topology of the human character, but rather as an exploration of those things which our culture deems important as to what it is makes a person.

		Our goals are to provide estimates of weight of each type of woody detritus per unit area, and, by using literature values of elemental concentrations of woody materials, provide crude estimates of nutrient contents of each detritus component.
		Inventory of woody detritus is required for comparison between treatments, comparison with old-growth stands and for comparison with future entries into the YSTDS stands.
		Nutrient concentrations for coarse woody detritus are from Sexton and Harmon, 1996.

		A model is described for predicting abundance of cyanobacteria and microalgae in relation to the detritus dynamics in shallow lakes with varying phosphorus load.
		Steady-state P distribution among cyanobacterial biomass, detritus and the dissolved pool depending on mortality and detritus mineralisation rate was predicted from kinetics for P-limited growth and refractory fraction of the detritus.
		The depth-averaged irradiance was computed for a constant background attenuation and specific attenuation coefficients of biomass and detritus estimated from field and laboratory data.

	Endogenous
		Detritus sparked the interest of many a disillusioned and jaded industrial fan who, tired of endless beats and noise, craved something more emotional.
		Alongside the trademark tracks of elegant strings and breaks, there are also a few unexpected turns along the way, such as the dark ambient and tribal styling of Hollowed that brings the album’s emotion down to its most despondent state; an utterly chilling closing track.
		With “Endogenous” Detritus has proven that there is still uncharted territory in the industrial genre, bringing a renaissance of traditional, organic music to the digital form and showing that power can lie in areas besides noise and distortion.

		But the truth is, he just takes advantage of his own distinguished abilities to collect information and to analyze it, and just takes the side of the armed camp that he judged it could generate more useful junks in larger quantities.

		I remove detritus from my system overflow water by using a simple mechanical filter that takes advantage of water velocity changes to cause heavier particles to drop out of the flow.
		A third feature of the mechanical detritus filter is the ease with which I can add chemicals to the water system.
		This mechanical detritus filter is constructed from an acrylic display box formerly used to cover a display in the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Who would have thought that a 40-year old aeronautical display case would someday be part of a life support system for a coral biome?

	DIALOG Dissertation Abstracts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Detritus is believed to play a significant role in coral reef food webs, but its nutritional value is not well resolved.
		These nutritional characteristics indicate that detritus is intermediatery in nutritional value when compared to labile live food sources (phytoplankton, zooplankton) and refractory sediment organic matter.
		The intermediatery composition of TPM to live food and refractory sediment organic matter suggest that organisms with a high energy diet (live organisms) cannot survive solely on detritus but may supplement their diet with detritus to overcome temporary energy deficits.

		Steep hillsides shed detritus easily which, around the high mountains, are carried by glaciers.
		The next stage is for the detritus to be carried down the rivers, swollen in the summer by glacial melt-water and fed by monsoonal rainfall.
		The strongly flowing rivers carry suspended sand and silt, eventually dumping this is areas where the stream gradient and water flow speed decline.

	Ecology: The trophic significance od bacteria in a detritus-based stream food web (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Bacteria are often associated with particulate detritus, especially in benthic and soil habitats, which allows consumption by organisms that are much larger than the cells themselves (Meyer 1994).
		The degree to which detritivores assimilate bacteria relative to detritus is significant in that it may regulate the amount of energy available for higher trophic levels.
		For example, if metazoans can directly assimilate detritus, the efficiency of the trophic transfer may be higher than if they only assimilate microbial carbon.

	Characterization of riparian species and stream detritus using multiple stable isotopes
		Samples of riparian and aquatic macrophyte vegetation and detritus were collected at three times to represent early leaf-out (April), mid-summer (August), and just prior to abscission (October).
		At the upper site, detritus was isotopically most similar to Quercus laurifolia and Sparganium americanum in April, and the aquatic macrophytes (S. americanum and Potamgeton spp.) in August and October.
		At the middle site, detritus was most similar to Carpinus caroliniana and Quercus nigra in April but no single source was similar to detritus in August or October.

	Verity Lab :: Detritus
		As described elsewhere, we have adapted 3D visualization techniques to the study of plankton.
		Concerning detritus, our approach is to selectively label detritus in a plankton sample using a unique combination of fluorescent stains, and then concentrate the detritus on a fl filter as described previously for determination of plankton carbon.
		We then optically slice "blobs" of detritus and calculate their volume, and then convert to carbon using empirically derived regressions.
