CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

Influence of Backfill Soil on the Uplift Bearing Capacity of Prefabricated Foundations for Temporary Transition Towers

open access: yesBuildings
In response to the non-reusable nature and prolonged construction period of traditional foundations for temporary and transitional towers, this paper designs a fully reusable all-metal prefabricated foundation for 35 kV–110 kV transmission lines.

Dynamic Mechanical Properties and Failure Mode of Artificial Frozen Silty Clay Subject to One-Dimensional Coupled Static and Dynamic Loads

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
The dynamic stress-strain relationship of artificial frozen silty clay under one-dimensional coupled static and dynamic loads is obtained using modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) equipment. The variation in dynamic compressive strength, dynamic

Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Stop 2 Kainui silt loam and Naike clay, Gordonton Rd [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
At this stop are several remarkable features both stratigraphic and pedological, and a “two-storied” soil, the Kainui silt loam alongside (in just a few places) the Naike clay. Both soils are Ultisols. The sequence of tephra beds and buried soil horizons

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Three-dimensional advanced numerical approaches to the seismic soil and structural response analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A 3D non-linear finite element approach is developed to study the free-field seismic ground response and the soil-structure interaction (SSI) phenomena at the Lotung site (Taiwan) during the earthquake event occurred on May 20 1986.
