Effects of Wetting-drying Cycles on Bulk Density and Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Soils
Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2022 【Objective】 Changes in density and hydraulic conductivity of soil not only modulate subsurface hydrological processes but also affect root growth and root uptake of water and nutrients from soil.

Dry/Wet Cycling and the Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Prebiotic Polymer Synthesis [PDF]
Life, 2016 The endoergic nature of protein and nucleic acid assembly in aqueous media presents two questions that are fundamental to the understanding of life’s origins: (i) how did the polymers arise in an aqueous prebiotic world; and (ii) once formed in some manner, how were they sufficiently persistent to engage in further chemistry.

Aging of recycled aggregates mortars by drying-wetting cycles
Construction and Building Materials, 2021 ABSTRACT: Due to the large amount of CO2 emissions produced nowadays by the construction sector, the scientific community is looking for measures that will bring constructions to the be as environmental-friendly as possible. One of the most popular lines of research is the use of construction waste as recycled aggregates for the production of recycled ...

Dry–wet cycles increase pesticide residue release from soil [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2012 AbstractSoil drying and rewetting may alter the release and availability of aged pesticide residues in soils. A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of soil drying and wetting on the release of pesticide residues. Soil containing environmentally long-term aged (9–17 years) 14C-labeled residues of the herbicides ethidimuron (ETD)

Effect of Dry‐Wet Cycles and Freeze‐Thaw Cycles on the Antierosion Ability of Fiber‐Reinforced Loess [PDF]
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Compared with plain soil, polypropylene (PP) fiber‐reinforced soil has markedly improved mechanical properties and can be used in slope protection projects. To investigate the reduction law of the antierosion ability parameters of PP fiber‐reinforced loess under dry‐wet (D‐W) cycles and freeze‐thaw (F‐T) cycles, we took loess from Yan’an, China, mixed ...

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.
