Soil-structure interaction phenomenon against the shrink-swell hazard for eva...
Clayey soils can present large volumetric deformations in response of water content change. This phenomenon of shrinkage and swelling of clayey soils is recognized as... -
Improvement to the air-injection technique to estimate xylem vulnerability to...
Several techniques have been developed to quantify the degree of embolism of the xylem using hydraulic conductance. Although there have been several improvements to... -
Water stress-induced xylem hydraulic failure is a causal factor of tree morta...
Background and Aims Extreme water stress episodes induce tree mortality, but the physiological mechanisms causing tree death are still poorly understood. This study...
