Combination of Imaging Infrared Spectroscopy and X-ray Computed Microtomography for the Investigation of Bio- and Physicochemical Processes in Structured Soils [PDF]
Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of various organic and inorganic parent materials. Major soil functions are driven by their quality, quantity and spatial arrangement, resulting in soil structure.

Identification of Group II Intron RmInt1 Binding Sites in a Bacterial Genome
RmInt1 is a group II intron encoding a reverse transcriptase protein (IEP) lacking the C-terminal endonuclease domain. RmInt1 is an efficient mobile retroelement that predominantly reverse splices into the transient single-stranded DNA at the template ...

SOIL SURFACE CRUST: ITS SIGNIFICANCE, TYPES AND MECHANICS OF FORMATION. A REVIEW [PDF]
Most of the agricultural soils around the world suffer from increased soil degradation and erosion and reduce moisture conservation, which is the decisive factor in agricultural crop production, and among these problems is the phenomenon of Surface Soil ...

Soil–Water–Structure Interactions
Interactions between soil, fluids (e.g., water), and structures are intrinsic to most geotechnical problems. However, these can be extremely complex and further understanding is needed in this field. Soil–water–structure interactions can be studied on many different scales (micro to macro) and perspectives (experimental, numerical, and theoretical). In

Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction can generate excessive damage to building structures due to significant reduction in soil effective stress. With increasing urbanisation and population growth, the performance of closely spaced buildings, such as those in towns and cities, is of greater concern where structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) may ...

Improving Soil Structure by Organic Material Amendments: A Review
【Objective】 Organic materials including crop straws, organic fertilizers, biochar have been widely used in agriculture as an agent to improve soil structure and fertility, but how, and to what extent, their efficacy varies with soil texture and ...

Comparison of Fuzzy and ANN models performance for monthly flow forecast using short time data [PDF]
Regarding the bottom outlet gates, the optimal hydraulic design to ensure non-occurrence of destructive vibrations is very important. Forces inserted into the gates due to the flow with high hydrostatic pressure under the gates may cause creation of ...

Macro- and microscale gaseous diffusion in a Stagnic Luvisol as affected by compaction and reduced tillage [PDF]
Intensification of mechanical agriculture has increased the risk for soil compaction and deformation. Simultaneously, reduced tillage practices have become popular due to energy saving and environmental concerns, as they may strengthen and improve the ...

Mycorrhizas and soil structure [PDF]
SummaryIn addition to their well‐recognized roles in plant nutrition and communities, mycorrhizas can influence the key ecosystem process of soil aggregation. Here we review the contribution of mycorrhizas, mostly focused on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), to soil structure at various hierarchical levels: plant community; individual root; and the ...
