Water Content of Plant Tissues: So Simple That Almost Forgotten?

open access: yesPlants, 2023
The aim of the present review was to reconsider basic information about various functional aspects related to plant water content and provide evidence that the usefulness of measuring absolute water content in plant sciences is undervalued.

Modeling the Unfrozen Water Content of Frozen Soil Based on the Absorption Effects of Clay Surfaces

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2020
Unfrozen water content significantly affects the thermal‐hydro‐mechanical characteristics of frozen soil. Currently, theoretical explanations for the presence of unfrozen water include capillary action, surface effects, adsorption forces, and the ...

Glacial varves at the distal slope of Pandivere-Neva ice-recessional formations in western Estonia [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2012
The distribution and varve thickness data of Late Weichselian varved clay were analyzed to describe the proglacial sedimentary environment, ice recession and water-level changes in the Baltic Ice Lake at the distal position of Pandivere–Neva (13.5–13.1 ...

Softening of Temperate Ice by Interstitial Water

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Ice at depth in ice-stream shear margins is thought to commonly be temperate, with interstitial meltwater that softens ice. Models that include this softening extrapolate results of a single experimental study in which ice effective viscosity decreased ...

Simulating microbial degradation of organic matter in a simple porous system using the 3-D diffusion-based model MOSAIC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper deals with the simulation of microbial degradation of organic matter in soil within the pore space at a microscopic scale. Pore space was analysed with micro-computed tomography and described using a sphere network coming from a geometrical ...

Compaction behaviour of clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents an experimental study of the compaction behaviour of non-active clay. One-dimensional static compaction tests were carried out at high and medium water content with matric suction monitoring using Trento high-capacity tensiometers. At

Estimation of vegetation water content using hyperspectral vegetation indices: a comparison of crop water indicators in response to water stress treatments for summer maize

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2019
BackgroundVegetation water content is one of the important biophysical features of vegetation health, and its remote estimation can be utilized to real-timely monitor vegetation water stress. Here, we compared the responses of canopy water content (CWC),

Time of concentration based infiltration under different soil density, water content, and slope during a steady rainfall

open access: yesJournal of Water and Land Development, 2019
Time of concentration, Tc, is defined as time elapsed from the beginning of rainfall infiltrated into soil layer until it reaches a constant infiltration rate (fc) which is indicated an equilibrium subsurface flow rate.
