Abstract:
Abstract. We present a model computing damage costs from drought-induced soil subsidence related to shrinking and swelling soils. The model uses an indicator applicable across different climate regimes. The influence of geology and land use on regional damage levels is taken into account. Simulation results are evaluated at departmental scale, showing a good representation of the regions affected by drought-induced soil subsidence. Substantial differences between simulated and observed damages are however found in some departments.

Summary The potato rot nematode, Ditylenchus destructor, threatens garlic production in Japan. The objectives of this study were to determine the relationships of D. destructor densities in soil, garlic roots and outer skins of garlic bulbs, and damage to bulbs that rot during storage. Ditylenchus destructor densities were evaluated with the real-time PCR method. There was a significant positive correlation between D. destructor densities in soil at planting and those in the outer skin of garlic bulbs at harvest in 2016, but not in 2017. Ditylenchus destructor densities in outer skins at harve

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of Atrichum undulatum to soil Pb contamination and check its affectivity as an indicator of Pb pollution indicator. Methodology: Soil and plant samples were collected and characterized. Plants were grown in different levels of Pb contaminated soil (35, 70,140 and 280 mg kg-1, respectively). After 35 days, the plant samples were cut and ground to determine physiological and biochemical parameters. Results: Soil available Pb accounted for approximately 15–24% of total Pb, and the ratio of available Pb decreased with increase in treatment

Most natural disasters result from geodynamic events such as landslides and slope collapse. These failures cause catastrophes that directly impact the environment and cause financial and human losses. Visual inspection is the primary method for detecting failures in geotechnical structures, but on-site visits can be risky due to unstable soil. In addition, the body design and hostile and remote installation conditions make monitoring these structures inviable. When a fast and secure evaluation is required, analysis by computational methods becomes feasible. In this study, a convolutional neura

The presence of sulfate salts aggravates the situation impairing the effectiveness of cement, leading to the need to reassess its performance.
