Prebiotic condensation through wet–dry cycling regulated by deliquescence [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractWet–dry cycling is widely regarded as a means of driving condensation reactions under prebiotic conditions to generate mixtures of prospective biopolymers. A criticism of this model is its reliance on unpredictable rehydration events, like rainstorms. Here, we report the ability of deliquescent minerals to mediate the oligomerization of glycine

Silica Precipitation in a Wet–Dry Cycling Hot Spring Simulation Chamber [PDF]
Life, 2020 Terrestrial hot springs have emerged as strong contenders for sites that could have facilitated the origin of life. Cycling between wet and dry conditions is a key feature of these systems, which can produce both structural and chemical complexity within protocellular material.

How Do Microplastics Affect Physical Properties of Silt Loam Soil under Wetting–Drying Cycles?
Agronomy, 2023 Soil physical properties are the main factors that influence soil fertility and directly affect the soil structure and water storage capacity. Microplastics (MPs), which have caused growing concern with respect to soil pollution, have readily been ...

Unraveling mechanisms underlying effects of wetting–drying cycles on soil respiration in a dryland
Biogeochemistry, 2023 Rewetting of dry soils usually stimulates soil carbon (C) emission, a phenomenon known as the Birch effect. Soil C cycling in drylands, which store approximately one third of terrestrial soil organic C (SOC), is strongly affected by wetting–drying cycles.

Effect of Wet-Dry Cycles on the Mechanical Performances and Microstructure of Pisha Sandstone
Molecules, 2023 The effects of the wet–dry cycles on the chemical compositions, microstructure, and mechanical properties of Pisha sandstone were experimentally investigated in the current study. A series of uniaxial compression tests were conducted to validate the deterioration of the mechanical property of specimens after wet–dry cycles.
