Oikos, EarlyView.Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Microscopic seepage simulation of gas and water in shale pores and slits based on VOF
Open PhysicsThe microscopic pore-fracture structure and wettability have a significant influence on the two-phase seepage of shale gas and water. Due to the limitation of experimental conditions, the seepage patterns of gas and water in shale pores and slits under ...

Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of permafrost in mountainous regions is influenced by various factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and substrate. Despite the existence of comprehensive permafrost maps at national and global levels, they fail to accurately represent the patch‐scale (e.g., < 25 m) permafrost distribution in characteristic ...

THE PELLETS APPLICATION IN LABORATORY RESEARCHING OF INHIBITIVE MUD/SHALE INTERACTION
Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2012 Wellbore instability appears to be a serious problem during drilling process through shale. Shales instability cause basically comes out of its mineralogical composition (especially clay minerals content) and physico-chemical properties.

The mechanical behavior of shales [PDF]
, 2019 The thesis comprises three experimental studies, which were carried out to unravel the short- as well as the long-term mechanical properties of shale rocks. Short-term mechanical properties such as compressive strength and Young’s modulus were taken from recorded stress-strain curves of constant strain rate tests.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Experimental study on fractures quantitative characterization of shale during uniaxial compression
Frontiers in Earth ScienceIntroductionFractures are crucial to the development of shale oil and gas because they operate as a seepage pathway. The key to ensuring effective development is the fractures strong connection.
