Recent and ancient evolutionary events shaped plant elemental composition of edaphic endemics: a phylogeny‐wide analysis of Iberian gypsum plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 235, Issue 6, Page 2406-2423, September 2022., 2022 Summary The analysis of plant elemental composition and the underlying factors affecting its variation are a current hot topic in ecology. Ecological adaptation to atypical soils may shift plant elemental composition. However, no previous studies have evaluated its relevance against other factors such as phylogeny, climate or individual soil conditions.

Experimental Investigation of Capillary Rise in Unsaturated Gypseous Soils [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Capillary rise is a phenomenon that must be considered an inevitable factor when dealing with unsaturated gypseous soil. This study investigates the behavior of gypseous unsaturated soil under capillary action, where different gypsum content and soil ...

Evolutionary origins of abnormally large shoot sodium accumulation in nonsaline environments within the Caryophyllales [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 214, Issue 1, Page 284-293, April 2017., 2017 Summary The prevalence of sodium (Na)‐‘hyperaccumulator’ species, which exhibit abnormally large shoot sodium concentrations ([Na]shoot) when grown in nonsaline environments, was investigated among angiosperms in general and within the Caryophyllales order in particular. Shoot Na concentrations were determined in 334 angiosperm species, representing 35

Mineralogical Composition of the Urinary Stones from Different Provinces in Iraq [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 24-38, 2005., 2005 For this study, 25 samples of urinary stones were chosen from different provinces in Iraq as representative sampling localities. These samples of urinary stones were collected to represent kidney, urate, and bladder stones. The main objectives of this study are to try to shed some light on the possibilities of tracking down the effective environmental ...

Enhancing gypseous soil behavior using casein from milk wastes
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2022 Gypseous soil is a metastable soil that causes problems in the constructions built on it under wetting conditions. Due to the harmful effects of traditional soil binders such as lime or cement on the environment, alternative environmental-friendly ...
