How to avoid the danger of pollutants in Swiss biochar production and use?
The study of pollutants found in biochar and its effects on agricultural soil was conducted in this paper. The aim of the research was to analyse organic and inorganic pollutants found in biochar which either originate from the biomass itself or are formed ...
2023Improving planar optode lifetime: encapsulation and optical release of pH-sensing optodes and assessment of their lifetime in situ
Victoria Alexandrine Julia Suzanne Marthe Fay
PurposePlanar fluorescent optodes are important tools for probing key parameters, such as the soil pH, O2 level, and CO2 level, associated with the biology and biochemistry process in the rhizosphere. In this paper, we address an important limitation of ex ...
SPRINGER HEIDELBERG2023Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry
Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as efficient carbon sinks. However, about half of these wetlands have been los ...
2022Global Mapping of Soil Water Characteristics Parameters— Fusing Curated Data with Machine Learning and Environmental Covariates
Hydrological and climatic modeling of near-surface water and energy fluxes is critically dependent on the availability of soil hydraulic parameters. Key among these parameters is the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), a function relating soil water co ...
2022Photosynthetic acclimation and sensitivity to short- and long-term environmental changes in a drought-prone forest
Future climate will be characterized by an increase in frequency and duration of drought and warming that exacerbates atmospheric evaporative demand. How trees acclimate to long-term soil moisture changes and whether these long-term changes alter trees' se ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Dynamic Effective Porosity Explains Laboratory Experiments on Watertable Fluctuations in Coastal Unconfined Aquifers
David Andrew Barry, Zhaoyang Luo
Watertable fluctuations are a characteristic feature of coastal unconfined aquifers. They interact with the vadose zone creating a dynamic effective porosity, for which a new (empirical) expression is proposed based on a dimensionless parameter related to ...
2022Soil-Structure Interaction effects on the seismic behavior of steel moment resisting frames: Preliminary assessment
The purpose of this paper is to assess the influence of soil-structure interaction and site effects on the seismic behavior of steel moment-resisting frames, with a view to describing the underlying “physics” behind the damage mechanisms triggered. We exam ...
European Earthquake Engineering Association2022Soil-structure interaction of surface footings
Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini
Limit-state analysis of soil-structure interacting systems is a classical problem in theoretical and applied soil mechanics. Usually, the capacities of both components are evaluated separately. However, it is well known that soil-structure interaction play ...
2021Associations between inorganic arsenic in rice and groundwater arsenic in the Mekong Delta
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Matthew Charles Reid
There is growing concern regarding human dietary exposure to arsenic (As) via consumption of rice. The concentration and speciation of As in rice are highly variable, and models describing rice As speciation as a function of environmental covariates remain ...
2021Permeability properties of composite reinforcements
Permeability is defined here from the equations of fluid flow through porous media. It represents, for composite reinforcements, a measure for their ease of impregnation by a fluid resin. Modeling of the saturated permeability tensor is presented using a h ...
