Dry/Wet Cycling and the Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Prebiotic Polymer Synthesis [PDF]
Life, 2016 The endoergic nature of protein and nucleic acid assembly in aqueous media presents two questions that are fundamental to the understanding of life’s origins: (i) how did the polymers arise in an aqueous prebiotic world; and (ii) once formed in some manner, how were they sufficiently persistent to engage in further chemistry.

Dry–wet cycles increase pesticide residue release from soil [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2012 AbstractSoil drying and rewetting may alter the release and availability of aged pesticide residues in soils. A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of soil drying and wetting on the release of pesticide residues. Soil containing environmentally long-term aged (9–17 years) 14C-labeled residues of the herbicides ethidimuron (ETD)

Impacts of drying–wetting cycles on rhizosphere respiration and soil organic matter decomposition [PDF]
, 2013 Drying-wetting cycles influence both soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and rhizosphere processes. Rhizosphere processes also affect SOM decomposition through rhizosphere priming. However, little is known about how drying-wetting cycles regulate SOM
