Numerical study of comparing skirt sandpile with deep cement pile to improve load‒settlement response of circular footing in layered soils: Centric and eccentric effects by Hussein Ahmad

“…The SSP, measuring 8.00 m in length and 1.00 m in diameter, was analyzed in a soft clay-sandy soil environment. The Mohr–Coulomb, hardening soil, and linear elastic models were employed to simulate the soil and structural elements. …”

Mineralization Process of Biocemented Sand and Impact of Bacteria and Calcium Ions Concentrations on Crystal Morphology by Guobin Xu, Yang Tang, Jijian Lian, Yue Yan, Dengfeng Fu

“…Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a sustainable technique used to improve sandy soil. Analysis of the mineralization process, as well as different bacterial suspensions and calcium concentrations on the crystal morphology, revealed that the mineralization process included four stages: self-organised hydrolysis of microorganisms, molecular recognition and interface interaction, growth modulation, and epitaxial growth. …”

Optimizing water-use efficiency under elevated CO₂: A meta-analysis of crop type, soil modulation, and enrichment methods by Ali Mokhtar, Hongming He, Samar Attaher, Ali Salem, Muneer Alam

“…Key findings reveal that: (1) C₃ crops, such as potato and tomato, show significantly greater increases in WUE compared to C₄ crops like maize, with effect sizes of 13.96 and 7.02 for plant-level WUE (WUEₚ), suggesting that C₃ crops may be more advantageous in water-limited environments due to reduced photorespiration under eCO₂; (2) soil type substantially modulates WUE responses, with clay soils, due to their high water-holding capacity, demonstrating the highest WUE enhancements (effect sizes of 7.87 for WUEₚ and 12.54 for yield WUE, WUEᵧ), while sandy soils, characterized by rapid drainage, showed limited improvements; and (3) greenhouse and growth chamber studies displayed the highest WUE improvements, while FACE experiments, which better replicate real-world conditions, indicated smaller WUE increases due to environmental variability, underscoring the need for a hybrid approach that merges controlled data with field insights to develop practical, water-efficient agricultural strategies. …”
