Non-inverting Tillage: Early-Stage Effects on Soil Mechanical Behaviour [PDF]

, 2000
Organic farmers often claim positive effects of non-inverting and reduced tillage systems. There is a need of quantifying tilth characteristics in the former plough layer of soil converted to such tillage systems.

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Study on the failure mechanism of the shield excavation face in the sandy cobble stratum under different buried depths

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract One of the significant challenges faced in shield tunnel construction is the risk of collapse resulting from abrupt changes in soil conditions in advance of the working face, particularly within the sandy cobble stratum. This study aims to effectively manage these sudden variations and to further investigate the failure mechanisms associated ...

Mechanistic insights across curing regimes for enzymatic and biopolymer‐optimized reinforcement in rock masses

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of curing temperature on the mechanical behavior of underground rock masses treated with enzyme‐induced calcite precipitation (EICP) and an innovative biopolymer‐modified EICP (BP‐EICP). Abstract Biocementation is an innovative and sustainable technique for reinforcing weak and weathered rock masses in natural and ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Using the environmental light field method for measuring biologically relevant light characteristics at the household scale

Ecography, EarlyView.
The regular variations of light in the natural light cycle serve as one of the most important cues for the timing of biological events in organisms. The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) alters the natural light cycle and has been found to have harmful effects on human, wildlife, and environmental health.
