Carbon and nitrogen mineralization as affected by drying and wetting cycles
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2005Drying and rewetting of soil is an important process in soil aggregation, soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, and nutrient cycling. We investigated the source of the C and N flush that occurs upon rewetting of dry soil, and whether it is from microbial death and/or aggregate destruction.

Modelling of Wetting and Drying Cycles in Building Structures
2014Many buildings are frequently subjected to deterioration caused by dampness, whose effects can be amplified by structure material properties, and microclimatic conditions. This contribution proposes a quantitative model to perform a physical analysis of rising damp.

Mechanical behaviour of expansive soils after several drying and wetting cycles
Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 2010This paper presents results from an experimental study performed on natural and compacted expansive soils in different loose and dense states using principally osmotic oedometers. The loose soils showed significant shrinkage, while the dense soils produced a swelling accumulation during the suction cycles.

EVALUATING THE POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO STONES FROM WETTING AND DRYING CYCLES
2007The literature on stone conservation often mentions that clay-containing stones can be damaged over time through cycles of wetting and drying (Felix 1988). Several studies demonstrate the deleterious action of these cycles on stones consolidated with ethyl silicates [Felix and Furlan (1994), Felix (1995)].
