In Situ Colloidal Activated Carbon for PFAS Remediation in Groundwater: Principles, Performance Expectations, and Lessons from the First Decade

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Injectable colloidal activated carbon (CAC) has been commercially used to remediate per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater since 2016. The basis of the technology is enhanced PFAS retention within the aquifer from engineered increases in aquifer‐matrix sorptivity (“PFAS enhanced retention”), with re‐equilibration from the ...

Soil Fragmentation and Friability. Effects of Soil Water and Soil Management

, 2002
Soil fragmentation is a primary aim in most tillage operations in order to create a soil environment favourable for crop establishment and growth. Soils vary around the world from those exhibiting a self-mulching nature to those of a hardsetting nature ...

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Modelling the dependency of soil-water characteristic curves on initial density

, 2012
This paper presents a simple approach to quantify the effect of initial soil density on the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of unsaturated soils.

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

A STUDY ON UNSATURATED SOIL-GEOTEXTILE INTERFACE STRENGTH USING MULTI-SCALE LABORATORY TESTS [PDF]

, 2014
The performance of marginal soils and their interface with geosynthetic reinforcement can be complex under construction or service loading conditions and may include excessive deformations and loss of strength as a result of wetting.

Shifts in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of bees and wasps primarily reflect temperature variations rather than the amount of sealed ground surfaces in an urban landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) can potentially subject insects to heat and desiccation stress and likely induce shifts in their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile. We expected that warmer urbanized areas favour longer chain length of hydrocarbons as well as higher abundance of n‐alkanes in three Hymenoptera species. We found that temperature, more

Study on the catastrophic mechanism of slope instability induced by pore gas migration under severe drying-wetting alternation

Scientific Reports
Pore gas migration under severe drying-wetting alternation induces the instability of unsaturated soil slopes, the study of its catastrophic mechanism can be based on the effective stress equation and shear strength equation of unsaturated soil, the ...

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...
