Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

Helical Piles Embedded in Expansive Soil Overlaying Sandy Soil
Al-Khawarizmi Engineering Journal, 2016 In this study, the behavior of square helical piles models (5×5) mm2 embedded in expansive soil bed overlaying a layer of sandy soil was investigated. The sand layer 200mm thickness was compacted into four sub layers in a steel container with diameter ...

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...

Soil vapor extraction in sandy soils: Influence of airflow rate
Chemosphere, 2008 Airflow rate is one of the most important parameters for the soil vapor extraction of contaminated sites, due to its direct influence on the mass transfer occurring during the remediation process. This work reports the study of airflow rate influence on soil vapor extractions, performed in sandy soils contaminated with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene ...

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

FORENSIC SOIL STUDY EXAMINATION OF SANDY SOILS
Theory and Practice of Forensic Science and Criminalistics, 2016 Експертне дослідження піщаних ґрунтів стає все більш актуальним у зв’язку з поширенням кримінальних справ стосовно несанкціонованого видобутку пісків як корисних копалин. Запропоновано методику дослідження піщаних ґрунтів, яка передбачає визначення морфологічних ознак, кількісного зернового (гранулометричного) складу, складу мінералів і характеристики ...
