Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

Evaluation of Initial Shear Stiffness Empirical Models for Unsaturated Soils with In-situ Down-Hole Tests [PDF]
Initial shear stiffness is one of the critical parameters in geotechnical investigations. It mainly applies to evaluating the seismic ground response analysis and the seismic design of earthen structures.

Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes. Mechanistic models are complex and have high parameter requirements.

The competitive interplay of 12‐oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA), protein thiols, and glutathione
12‐Oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA) is a phytohormone involved in plant growth and stress defense. Due to its cyclopentenone moiety, OPDA can form Michael adducts with thiol‐containing compounds such as glutathione and cysteine residues of proteins, resulting in alterations of the cellular redox regulatory network.

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

Experimental study on the coefficient of lateral earth pressure in unsaturated soils
Accurate measurement of lateral earth pressure coefficient, k, is a key step in any geotechnical investigation. Since conventional approaches for obtaining this value leads to high risk of uncertainty in the results, this paper introduces a new ...
