Super-absorbent swellable polymer as grouting material for treatment of karst water inrush
Grouting is the most commonly used method to control water inrush in underground engineering. Traditional cement-based materials are easy to dilute and hard to coagulate under the influence of large flow and high-velocity water inrush.

Coupling Sap Flow Velocity and Amino Acid Concentrations as an Alternative Method to 15N Labeling for Quantifying Nitrogen Remobilization by Walnut Trees [PDF]
Abstract The temporal dynamics of N remobilization was studied in walnut (Juglans nigra × regia) trees growing in sand culture. Trees were fed with labeled N (15N) during 1999 and unlabeled N in 2000. Total N and15N contents in different tree compartments were measured during 80 d after bud burst and were used to estimate N ...

Flip-flop method: A new T1-weighted flow-MRI for plants studies. [PDF]
The climate warming implies an increase of stress of plants (drought and torrential rainfall). The understanding of plant behavior, in this context, takes a major importance and sap flow measurement in plants remains a key issue for plant understanding ...

Estimates of tree root water uptake from soil moisture profile dynamics [PDF]
Root water uptake (RWU), as an important process in the terrestrial water cycle, can help us to better understand the interactions in the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum.

Water-use dynamics of an alien-invaded riparian forest within the Mediterranean climate zone of the Western Cape, South Africa [PDF]
In South Africa, the invasion of riparian forests by alien trees has the potential to affect the country's limited water resources. Tree water-use measurements have therefore become an important component of recent hydrological studies.

Accounting for sap flow from different parts of the root system improves the prediction of xylem ABA concentration in plants grown with heterogeneous soil moisture. [PDF]
When soil moisture is heterogeneous, sap flow from, and ABA status of, different parts of the root system impact on leaf xylem ABA concentration ([X-ABA]leaf). The robustness of a model for predicting [X-ABA]leaf was assessed.

Exaggerated postural sway improves orthostatic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular control
IntroductionHealthy individuals with poor cardiovascular control, but who do not experience syncope (fainting), adopt an innate strategy of increased leg movement in the form of postural sway that is thought to counter orthostatic (gravitational) stress ...

Self-potential signals related to tree transpiration in a Mediterranean climate [PDF]
Plant transpiration is a crucial process in the water cycle, and its quantification is essential for understanding terrestrial ecosystem dynamics. While sap flow measurements offer a direct method for estimating individual tree transpiration, their ...
