High salinity prolongs water processes required for soil structure stability during drying–wetting cycles
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Soil Science Society of America Journal"
DOI: 10.1002/saj2.20680
Abstract: Climate events, such as drought and rainfall, can lead to a cycle of drying and wetting that may cause changes in soil structure, leading to deteriorations in the health of saline soils. However, little is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cemconres.2018.11.017
Abstract: Abstract Accelerated laboratory tests on resistance of concrete exposed to sulfate attack have generally been conducted in high-concentration sulfate solutions or under drastic drying-wetting cycle conditions. However, these accelerated regimes radically alter the nature of… read more here.
