Mechanical properties of dense mycelium-bound composites under accelerated tropical weathering conditions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Mycelium, as the root of fungi, is composed of filamentous strands of fine hyphae that bind discrete substrate particles into a block material. With advanced processing, dense mycelium-bound composites (DMCs) resembling commercial particleboards can be ...

Dissolved load, chemical weathering, and CO2 uptake dynamics of small tropical mountainous rivers of Southern Granulite Terrain, Karamana and Vamanpuram, Western Ghats, India [PDF]
Scientific ReportsChemical weathering in a river basin is a key geochemical process that controls fluxes between the atmosphere, land, and ocean, playing a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate, particularly the small tropical mountainous rivers with high weathering ...

Bone weathering in a Mediterranean climate region: An experimental case study from Doñana National Park (Spain). [PDF]
PLoS ONEBone weathering constitutes a highly informative and commonly studied variable in taphonomic analyses. Vertebrate paleontologists, zoo-archeologists and forensic anthropologists have used weathering as a taphonomic clock to ascertain the exposure time of

The effect of the Pliocene temperature pattern on silicate weathering and Pliocene–Pleistocene cooling [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 The warmer early Pliocene climate featured changes to global sea surface temperature (SST) patterns, namely a reduction in the Equator–pole gradient and the east–west SST gradient in the tropical Pacific, the so-called “permanent El Niño”.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Boulders are an important material in debris flow and their source is coupled with spheroidal weathering profiles that produce corestones. The goal of this work was to establish the geochemical transformations that produced corestones and distinguished ...

Predicting Water Cycle Characteristics from Percolation Theory and Observational Data. [PDF]
, 2020 The fate of water and water-soluble toxic wastes in the subsurface is of high importance for many scientific and practical applications. Although solute transport is proportional to water flow rates, theoretical and experimental studies show that heavy ...
