Changes in the Bacterial Community and lin Genes Diversity during Biostimulation of Indigenous Bacterial Community of Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) Dumpsite Soil

In this study hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) contaminated soil (with HCH level 84 g/kg of soil) from HCH dumpsite (Ummari village, Lucknow, India) was used to demonstrate biostimulation approach for HCH bioremediation. Different nutrients (molasses and ammoni ...

An investigation into the water retention behaviour of deformable soils

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Mathieu Nuth, Simon Salager

The paper presents an experimental and modelling approach for the soil water retention behaviour of two deformable soils. The objective is to investigate the physical mechanisms that govern the soil water retention properties and to propose a constitutive ...

Field application of a rapid spectrophotometric method for determination of persulfate in soil

David Andrew Barry

Remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils can be performed both in situ and ex situ using chemical oxidants such as sodium persulfate. Standard methods for quantifying persulfate require either centrifugation or prolonged settling times. An optimized s ...

Light Availability Prevails Over Soil Fertility and Structure in the Performance of Asian Knotweeds on Riverbanks: New Management Perspectives

Thomas Spiegelberger

Asian knotweeds (Fallopia spp.) are considered one of the world's most invasive species. Restoring habitats dominated by these exotic species requires a better understanding of the importance of abiotic factors controlling the invasive knotweeds performanc ...

Revisiting Microstructure Sensor Responses with Implications for Double-Diffusive Fluxes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Thin high-gradient interfaces that occur naturally within double-diffusive staircases are used to estimate the response characteristics of temperature and conductivity microstructure sensors. The knowledge of these responses is essential for resolving smal ...

Image analysis technique applied to lock-exchange gravity currents

Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira, Claudia Adduce

An image analysis technique is used to estimate the two-dimensional instantaneous density field of unsteady gravity currents produced by full-depth lock-release of saline water. An experiment reproducing a gravity current was performed in a 3.0 m long, 0.2 ...

Laccases: Potential treatment for removal of micropollutants in municipal wastewater?

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Jonas Margot

Relatively high concentrations of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals and biocides in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) effluents underscore the necessity to develop new treatments. Organisms that produce oxidative enzymes such as laccases a ...

Soil erosion and effluent particle size distribution under different initial conditions and rock fragment coverage

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

It is well known that the presence of rock fragments on the soil surface and the soil’s initial characteristics (moisture content, surface roughness, bulk density, etc.) are key factors influencing soil erosion dynamics and sediment delivery. In addition, ...

Reclamation of low fertility soils using by-products and fast-growing trees

Marc Adami

The world population being increasing, a good energy production management is therefore necessary. Biomass production through short forest rotation by using fast-growing trees appears as a sensible way to limit fossil fuel uses. In Mediterranean regions of ...

Rain splash soil erosion estimation in the presence of rock fragments

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

Rain splash soil erosion in the presence of rock fragments and different initial conditions was tested in laboratory flume experiments under controlled conditions. The aim of the experiments was to ascertain whether cumulative soil erosion is proportional ...
