Seasonal hysteresis of surface urban heat islands
Gabriele Manoli, Gabriel George Katul
Temporal dynamics of urban warming have been extensively studied at the diurnal scale, but the impact of background climate on the observed seasonality of surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) remains largely unexplored. On seasonal time scales, the intensity ...
2020On the Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Remoulded and Natural Opalinus Clay Shale
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero
The geo-energy sector makes use of advanced technologies such as shale gas extraction, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological disposal that rely on the exploitation of shale formations. Due to the great depths involved in these applications and the ...
Elsevier Science Bv2016The mid-Holocene vegetation of the Mediterranean region and southern Europe, and comparison with the present day
Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins
Aim To contribute to the intense debate surrounding the relative influence of climate and humans on Mediterranean-region land cover over the past 6000 years, we assess the Holocene biogeography and vegetation history of southern Europe by means of an exten ...
Wiley-Blackwell2012Mechanisms of vegetation uprooting by flow in alluvial non-cohesive sediment
Paolo Perona, Katharina Maria Edmaier
The establishment of riparian pioneer vegetation is of crucial importance within river restoration projects. After germination or vegetative reproduction on river bars juvenile plants are often exposed to mortality by uprooting caused by floods. At later s ...
2011How Does Plant Diversity Affect Soil Aggregate Stability and Erosion Processes in Disturbed Alpine Ecosystems?
Plant species diversity is hypothesized to be among the most relevant factors for enhancing soil stability in disturbed sites at high elevation. Because a more diverse plant community may comprise a high number of plant species of different growth forms, p ...
EPFL2010Probabilistic characterization of base flows in river basins: Roles of soil, vegetation, and geomorphology
Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter
[1] In this paper we extend previous mathematical results on the probabilistic modeling of base flows driven by spatial and temporal fluctuations of soil moisture and affected by intermittent rainfall forcings and by heterogeneous transport, soil, and vege ...
2007Analysis, synthesis and modelling of high-resolution observations of salt-marsh eco-geomorphological patterns in the Venice lagoon
The present paper describes observations, analyses and models of salt-marsh channel network and vegetation patterns with the aim of contributing to the development of predictive models of ecological and morphological co-evolution. Existing and new observat ...
