Bacterial hydrophilins promote pathogen desiccation tolerance
Cell Host and Microbe, 2022 Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections, where outbreaks are driven by its ability to persist on surfaces in a desiccated state. Here, we show that A.

Desiccation Tolerance: Avoiding Cellular Damage During Drying and Rehydration
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2020Desiccation of plants is often lethal but is tolerated by the majority of seeds and by vegetative tissues of only a small number of land plants. Desiccation tolerance is an ancient trait, lost from vegetative tissues following the appearance of tracheids

Effects of preferential flow induced by desiccation cracks on slope stability
Engineering Geology, 2021Desiccation cracks can significantly increase permeability and reduce shear strength, which potentially results in shallow landslide occurrence. In this study, a full-scale model test was carried out on a cracked soil slope under rainfall-evaporation ...

Desiccation cracking is a common natural phenomenon in clayey soils, considerably degrading their mechanical and hydraulic properties. Typical remediation methods are associated with high labor costs, high maintenance costs, or the usage of environment ...

Soil desiccation cracking and its characterization in vegetated soil: A perspective review
Science of the Total Environment, 2020The formation and propagation of surface desiccation cracks in vegetated infrastructures involve coupled factors including unsaturated soil mechanics, atmospheric conditions and vegetation parameters.

Effects of microstructure on desiccation cracking of a compacted soil
Engineering Geology, 2020Desiccation cracking has a significant influence on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils. Most previous studies focus on the desiccation cracking of slurry soil samples, whereas little attention has been paid to compacted soils.

Effects of plastic contamination on water evaporation and desiccation cracking in soil
Science of the Total Environment, 2019Environmental contamination of plastics is becoming an issue of concern globally. Detection of plastics, particularly microplastics, has been increasingly reported in both marine environments and inland waters.

Red clay, an easily cracking lateritic soil, is extensively distributed in southern China. Cracked red clay slopes often show shallow failures under rainfall, which is challenging to reproduce by finite element methods.
