Coseismic Shallow Landslide Distributions Reveal Patterns of Regolith Thickness in High Mountains
Abstract Earthquake‐triggered landslides are a major source of sediment mobilization in steep mountain landscapes, yet the controls that organize regional patterns of coseismic shallow failure remain incompletely understood. Because shallow landslides occur within regolith, their initiation and magnitude depend strongly on near‐surface material ...

Abstract Land surface models are fundamental for simulating coupled carbon, water and energy exchanges in Earth system models, yet their performance remains poorly constrained across Africa's diverse hydroclimatic gradients. We evaluate the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) using eddy covariance observations from 16 flux towers spanning major

Numerical analysis of matric suction effects of tree roots [PDF]
The use of native vegetation in the coastal regions of Australia has become increasingly popular for stabilising railway corridors built over expansive clays and compressive soft soils. The tree roots provide three stabilising functions: (a) they reinforce the soil; (b) they dissipate excess pore pressures; and (c) they establish sufficient matric ...

Determination of the lens water content for several different configurations of elliptical particles in unsaturated soils [PDF]
Until now, all of the calculations about determining of water content around the particles in unsaturated soil have done with supposing the spherical shape of particles and most of quantities such as matric suction and interparticle stress due to water ...

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)
ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees
ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

In this study, to explore the feasibility of a compacted red clay as an engineered barrier in landfills, the viscoplastic property of remodeled unsaturated reticulate red clay was studied through a series of triaxial tests.

ABSTRACT Soil compaction poses a significant threat to soil quality and sustainability, necessitating advanced assessment methods. We hypothesized that incorporating x‐ray computed tomography (XCT)‐derived pore characteristics with hydraulic properties would significantly enhance the development of a soil quality index (SQI) under soil compaction ...

Matric Suction Creep Characteristics of Reticulated Red Clay
Matric suction creep is the creep of unsaturated soil caused by loading constant matric suction. Matric suction creep characteristics of reticulated red clay with constant net confing pressure and step-loading matric suction was studied using stress-controlling unsaturated triaxial test apparatus.
