Effect of wetting-drying cycles on soil desiccation cracking behaviour
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Better understanding the desiccation cracking process is essential in analysing drought effects on soil hydraulic and mechanical properties through consideration of the atmosphere-ground interaction.

Drying-Wetting Cycles: Effect on Deep Soil Carbon [PDF]
Soil Systems, 2018 In the Southeast United States (U.S.), the climate is predicted to be warmer and have more severe drought in the summer. Decreasing rainfall in summer months should create more severe soil drying, which will eventually affect re-wetting cycles deeper in the soil profile.

Delayed compression and breakage of crushed mudstones due to the drying/wetting and temperature cycles [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSoft sedimentary rocks, especially mudstones, disintegrated or crumbled when subjected to cyclic drying and wetting, known as slaking, which was the cause of severe slope failures and ground settlement.

Influence of Drying–Wetting Cycles on the Water Retention and Microstructure of Residual Soil
Geofluids, 2022 Due to frequent changes in the humid and hot environment, the residual soil with a particle-size distribution (PSD) from gravel to clay experiences multiple drying–wetting cycles.

EFFECT OF WETTING AND DRYING CYCLES ON ADDED POTASSIUM RELEASE TO SOME CALCAREOUS SOILS IN NORTH IRAQ [PDF]
Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2010 Two surfaces soils horizon from calcareous soils in Mosul city classified as calciorthid with semictite dominance were chosen to study the effect of wetting and drying cycles on release of native and added potassium.Potassium was added to soil samples at
