Effects of deep pools on salinization in coastal reservoirs

David Andrew Barry, Jing Xu

Coastal reservoir contributes to alleviating the freshwater shortage in stressed areas, and the salinization of reservoir water is one of the most important challenges that coastal reservoir faced. Field-investigation indicates that there are many deep poo ...

Hydro-chemo-mechanical behavior of a sand/bentonite mixture upon wetting paths

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Donatella Manca

Sand/bentonite (S/B) mixtures are considered as backfilling materials for nuclear waste storage. The paper presents an experimental campaign that was carried out to investigate the swelling behavior of a S/B mixture, under different hydro-chemo-mechanical ...

Ultralow Interfacial Tension Measurement through Jetting/Dripping Transition

François Gallaire, Laura Augello

In this paper, we present a dynamic microfluidic tensiometer able to perform measurements over more than four decades and which is suitable for high throughput experimentations. This tensiometer is able to withstand hard conditions such as high pressure, h ...

Impact of nitrogen inputs on multiple facets of plant biodiversity in mountain grasslands: does nutrient source matter?

François Gillet

Questions: What is the impact of nitrogen (N) inputs on the vegetation of mountain permanent grasslands? Beyond the effect of fertilizer quantity (total and available N supply), is there a specific effect of fertilizer quality (the various N sources) on th ...

Kinetics of xylem loading, membrane potential maintenance, and sensitivity of K+-permeable channels to reactive oxygen species: physiological traits that differentiate salinity tolerance between pea and barley

Amandine Massart

Salt sensitive (pea) and salt tolerant (barley) species were used to understand the physiological basis of differential salinity tolerance in crops. Pea plants were much more efficient in restoring otherwise depolarized membrane potential thereby effective ...

Fe(III) reduction during pyruvate fermentation by Desulfotomaculum reducens strain MI-1

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Julien Maillard, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia

Desulfotomaculum reducens MI-1 is a Gram-positive, sulfate-reducing bacterium also capable of reducing several metals, among which is Fe(III). Very limited knowledge is available on the potential mechanism(s) of metal reduction among Gram-positive bacteria ...

Reactive oxygen species production and signalling as a component of salinity tolerance mechanism in cereals

Amandine Massart

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive and toxic by-products of the aerobic metabolism, which are overproduced during period of stress. They disturb the cell machinery and induce oxidative damages on important biological macromolecules. Salinity ...

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, ...

Constitutive models for the joint estimation of electrical conductivity and permittivity of variably-saturated soils

Alessandro Brovelli

In the context of sustainable development, there is a growing interest in mapping soil characteristics and land use, in particular to evaluate threats to soil quality. Fast non-invasive geophysical surveys have been used to estimate the areal distribution ...
