An effective stress-based DSC model for predicting hydromechanical shear behavior of unsaturated collapsible soils subjected to initial shear stress

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Evaluation of hydromechanical shear behavior of unsaturated soils is still a challenging issue. The time and cost needed for conducting precise experimental investigation on shear behavior of unsaturated soils have encouraged several investigators to ...

Temporal Evolution of Contaminant Mass Discharge: Effect of Source Remediation at Contaminated Sites

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Contaminant mass discharge (CMD) is a key metric for evaluating remediation performance at contaminated sites posing a risk to groundwater. This study assesses temporal CMD trends and associated uncertainties using a geostatistical approach at a chlorinated solvent contaminated site following source zone remediation, supported by two decades ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

In Situ Testing and its Application to Foundation Analysis in Fine-Grained Unsaturated Soils [PDF]

, 2016
The in situ test is an important part of a geotechnical engineer’s arsenal. Currently, there are no established methods for interpreting results of in situ tests in unsaturated soils. The difficulty in interpreting in situ tests in unsaturated soil comes

Key sources of uncertainty in process‐based modeling of live fuel moisture content

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Location of the selected live fuel moisture content (LFMC) sampling sites. Summary Process‐based models that mechanistically represent water‐carbon balances in the atmosphere‐soil–plant continuum are an attractive tool for monitoring live fuel moisture content (LFMC) dynamics, a key variable when assessing fire danger.
