Response of the Stability of Soil Aggregates and Erodibility to Land Use Patterns in Wetland Ecosystems of Karst Plateau

open access: yes
The world’s natural wetlands, which have important ecological functions, are being lost at an alarming rate. The erosion and deposition of soil on wetlands is a major cause of wetland conversion to agriculture. An urgent problem to be solved is how

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

open access: yesDeep 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 ...

Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
To address seepage‐induced tunnel face collapse, this study develops a two‐phase double‐point MPM framework to capture large‐deformation hydro‐mechanical interactions. Incorporating a cementation‐based constitutive model with dynamic permeability updates, the model is successfully validated against saturated granular‐column collapse experiments ...

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...
