Effect of Gravel on Soil Porosity and Water Infiltration of Lime Soil in Southwest Karst Area

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] Gravel is an important factor affecting soil porosity and water infiltration. Therefore, it is of great significance to determine the specific soil porosity characteristics that are impacted by gravel-induced changes.

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Exploring Relationships Between Karst Terrains and Social Features by the Example of Gömör-Torna Karst (Hungary-Slovakia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Human-environment relations have some special characteristics on karst terrains, and karstlands are usually less densely inhabited areas principally due to hydrologic, topographic and pedologic reasons.

Mechanism of karst ground collapse and evaluation of disaster risk in Chengnan community, Yingde City, China

open access: yesCarsologica Sinica
Karst ground collapse is one of the most common geological hazards in karst areas. It is characterized by concealment, sudden occurrence and inhomogeneity, along with various other complex features.

Investigations of rapid groundwater flow and karst in the Chalk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This study, with fieldwork undertaken in the Pang and Lambourn catchments in Southern England, investigates the occurrence and distribution of rapid groundwater flow in the Chalk and evaluates the degree of karstification.

Karst Geomorphology at Moira River, Ontario [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
This is the first study of the karst features found at Moira River karst. This study intends to investigate a number of different karst features of the area rather than concentrating on one highly specific problem.

Mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock burst in coal seam mining beneath mountainous areas

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock bursts during coal mining beneath mountainous areas. The advancing working face induces nonuniform fracturing of the overburden. The detached mountain mass then undergoes a seesaw‐type rotational movement around a shifting pivot, driving the primary fracture through a characteristic “open‐close ...

Biological Characteristics of a Novel Bibenzyl Synthase (DoBS1) Gene from Dendrobium officinale Catalyzing Dihydroresveratrol Synthesis

open access: yesMolecules
Bibenzyl compounds are one of the most important bioactive components of natural medicine. However, Dendrobium officinale as a traditional herbal medicine is rich in bibenzyl compounds and performs functions such as acting as an antioxidant, inhibiting ...

Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
To address seepage‐induced tunnel face collapse, this study develops a two‐phase double‐point MPM framework to capture large‐deformation hydro‐mechanical interactions. Incorporating a cementation‐based constitutive model with dynamic permeability updates, the model is successfully validated against saturated granular‐column collapse experiments ...
