Experimental Study on Shear Characteristics of Coal Samples in Different Water-Bearing States by Yang Wu, Lujun Wang, Baoyang Wu, Ze Xia

“…The research results show that the shear characteristics of coal samples change significantly under the action of water, with the increase of moisture content and drying-saturation cycles, the lower the shear strength of coal samples is, the larger the peak shear strain is, and the cohesion and internal friction angle of coal samples decrease linearly. According to the relationship between cohesion, internal friction angle, moisture content, and drying-saturation cycle times, the Mohr–Coulomb model of coal samples considering moisture content and immersion times is established, which contributes to the load-bearing capacity estimation of water-bearing coal mass. …”

Ecohydrological responses to solar radiation changes by Y. Wang, N. Meili, S. Fatichi

“…</p> <p>In the absence of land–atmosphere feedback, changes in solar radiation tend to reflect mostly in sensible heat changes, with minor effects on the hydrological cycle, and vegetation productivity correlates linearly with changes in solar radiation. When land–atmosphere feedback is included, changes in latent heat and hydrological variables are much more pronounced, mostly because of the temperature and vapor pressure deficit changes associated with solar radiation changes. …”
