SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF SOIL ERODIBILITY AT EL HAMMAM CATCHMENT, NORTHEAST OF ALGERIA [PDF]
Environment & Ecosystem Science, 2019 The concept of erodibility has gained a great importance in the field of soil erosion modelling and applications of soil conservation. Soil erodibility factor has become one of the key factors which determine soil particles resistance to be detached by

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An architecture‐enabled bottom‐heated 3D solar convective evaporator spatially decouples photothermal heating from evaporation, triggering natural convection that intensifies sidewall vapour removal and heat transfer. The system achieves significantly enhanced evaporation rates over 2D and conventional 3D designs while confining salt precipitation to ...

The contribution of soil structural degradation to catchment flooding: a preliminary investigation of the 2000 floods in England and Wales [PDF]
, 2003 During the autumn of 2000, England and Wales experienced the wettest conditions for over 270 years, causing significant flooding. The exceptional combination of a wet spring and autumn provided the potential for soil structural degradation.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A robust plant protein adhesive was prepared by fabricating a bi‐continuous organic–inorganic hybrid structure. Compared with traditional organic–inorganic hybrid adhesives, the addition amount of inorganic phase is increased from 0.2%–3.0% to 50%, and the strength and toughness are increased by 6 and 121 times, respectively.

Microbes: Affect physical properties of soil
California Agriculture, 1965 These studies indicate that some of the microbial polysaccharides are relatively resistant to decomposition by soil organisms and, therefore, may well be contributing influences to the favorable effects of organic residues on soil physical properties.

Soil properties in relation to topographic aspects, vegetation communities and land use in the south-eastern highlands of Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2007 Quantification of changes in soil properties (particularly organic carbon and total nitrogen) due to natural and anthropogenic influences is essential in understanding carbon fluxes between land and atmosphere.
