Modelling city-scale facade leaching of biocide by rainfall

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Chiara Rota

A methodology is presented for estimating, at the city scale, the amount of biocide released from facades during rain events. The methodology consists of two elements. First, leaching of a single facade is simulated using a two-region model, one region for ...

Lessivage des polluants urbains et changement climatique : l’influence des modèles

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Sébastien Kramer

Rainfall for the next century will be influenced by global warming. These modified rainfalls will have influences on rainfall runoff. In order to analyze these impacts, this study compared different buildup and washoff functions with several future rainfal ...

Stochastic modeling of salt accumulation in the root zone due to capillary flux from brackish groundwater

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis

[1] Groundwater can be a source of both water and salts in semiarid areas, and therefore, capillary pressure-induced upward water flow may cause root zone salinization. To identify which conditions result in hazardous salt concentrations in the root zone, ...

Effects of short-term ecosystem experimental warming on water-extractable organic matter in an ombrotrophic Sphagnum peatland (Le Forbonnet, France)

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

In a future warmer world, peatlands may change from a carbon sink function to a carbon source function. This study tracks changes in water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) after 1 year of in situ experimental warming using open top chambers (OTCs). WEOM w ...

Surface oxide in replicated microcellular aluminium and its influence on the plasticity size effect

Andreas Mortensen, Frédéric Diologent

The oxide film present along the interface between metal and pores in microcellular aluminium produced by replication depends on the leaching medium that is used to dissolve the NaCl preform: leaching in water produces a thick and irregular multilayered hy ...

Dynamics of atmospheric N deposition in a temperate calcareous forest soil

Claire Guenat, Jean-Claude Védy, Isabelle Morier Jaquet

In temperate forest ecosystems, soil acts as a major sink for atmospheric N deposition. A 15N labeling experiment in a hardwood forest on calcareous fluvisol was performed to study the processes involved. Low amounts of ammonium (15NH4 +) or nitrate (15NO3 ...

Diffuse release of environmental hazards by railways

Luca Rossi

There is increasing concern about environmental pollution by diffuse emissions of various environmental hazards emitted by transportation activities. For the first time substances released by railways to the environment were investigated. We considered the ...

Interpretation of leaching under multiple fertilizer applications

David Andrew Barry

Simple theory has been developed and illustrated elsewhere which allows estimation, firstly, of the mean depth of solute penetration from any sequence of infiltration and evapotranspiration events, and secondly, of the apparent dispersion about this mean d ...
