Analytical Modeling of Heat Transfer and Deformation Around a Circular Cavity in Elastic Ground

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The subsurface is increasingly exploited to host energy, utilities, and infrastructure systems that interact with surrounding soils and rocks through their thermal and functional operation. Prominent examples are provided by energy geostructures, district heating networks, buried power cables, steam and water pipes, and underground nuclear ...

Effect of population reinforcement method, site, and plant characteristics on early establishment of the rare endemic plant species Minuartia smejkalii

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Many habitat‐specialist plant species have been endangered by fragmentation or destruction of their habitats. Minuartia smejkalii is a serpentinophyte endemic to the Czech Republic. It is highly threatened by recent habitat destruction and fragmentation, calling for effective conservation measures.

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs

Oikos, EarlyView.
Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.
