Modelling Wet-Dry Cycles in the Binary Polymer Model

2023
A key question concerning the origin of life is whether polymers, such as nucleic acids and proteins, can spontaneously form in prebiotic conditions. Several studies have shown that, by alternating (i) a phase in which a system is in a water-rich condition and (ii) one in which there is a relatively small amount of water, it is possible to achieve ...

Diverse effects of wetting and drying cycles on soil aggregation: Implications on pesticide leaching.

Chemosphere, 2021
The important effect of soil wetting and drying cycle (WDC) on soil structure, and the consequent effect on pollutant fate is underexplored. We thoroughly investigated the changes in soil structure and in leaching of Alion (indaziflam) and Express ...

Dimensional variations of Roman masonry subjected to wetting-drying cycles

Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites, 2001
AbstractMany Roman monuments made of opus caementicium are subjected to wetting and drying phenomena caused by water or/and humidity from the ground. The action of water impregnation on the hypothetical dimensional changes in this Roman concrete has not been considered in the literature and no experimental data are available.The purpose of this work ...

Degradation Mechanisms of a Lime-Treated Clay Induced by Wetting and Drying Cycles

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment
The present experimental study is focused on analyzing the degradation processes of the mechanical performances of a lime-stabilized expansive clay exposed to wetting/drying cycles of various amplitude.

3D Image‐Based Pore‐Network Simulations to Analyse Soil Pore Architecture Variations due to Wetting and Drying Cycles

Soil use and management
Soils are frequently exposed to wetting–drying (W‐D) cycles, which strongly influence pore structure and flow properties. Although prior studies have investigated their effects on absolute permeability (k) and capillary pressure, the impact on relative ...

Structure Repair of a Compacted Vertisol with Wet‐Dry Cycles and Crops

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1999
Abstract We hypothesized that the four rotation crops: wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Merr.], lablab [ Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] and mung bean [

Water State of Soil Experienced Wetting–Drying Cycles

Indian Geotechnical Journal, 2020
Owing to rainfall and evaporation in nature’s water succession, clay soil inevitably experiences wetting–drying cycles. In the present study, experiments are carried out to investigate variations in the water state (i.e., adsorbed and bulk) during the wetting process and again after experiencing 0–4 wetting–drying cycles.

Impact of wetting and drying cycles on soil structure dynamics

Geoderma, 2019
Soil structure is not static but undergoes continuous changes due to a wide range of biotic and abiotic drivers such as bioturbation and the mechanical disturbance by tillage.
