Innovative Fly-Ash-Based Soil Crust Rehabilitation: Enhancing Wind Erosion Resistance in Gravel-Layered Desert Mining Areas by Yu Zheng, Weiming Guan, Jingwen Li, Zhenqi Hu, Gensheng Li, Meng Xie, Xuewei Zhang

“…Thus, the effects of fly ash addition, water content, and compaction on the shear strength and wind erosion resistance of soil crusts were explored by compaction tests, direct shear tests, and wind tunnel experiments. (1) The results of the direct shear test and vane shear test show that the modified soil sample achieved the maximum shear strength under the conditions of 15% fly ash content, 13% water content, and 3 compaction cycles. (2) The results of the wind tunnel test indicate that the wind erosion resistance of the gravel layer soil crust was improved after fly ash treatment. …”

Mobilization and deposition of plastic along an estuarine bank during tidal cycles by Rosa Sawan, Périne Doyen, Guillaume Veillet, Florence Viudes, Céline Mahfouz, Rachid Amara

“…Results suggested that in small macrotidal estuaries, the daily net retention is very limited since most plastics were mobilized after a tidal cycle. However, in vegetated substrate, the daily net retention can be 2 to 3 times higher than in other types of substrates (gravel and sand) highlighting the potential of dense vegetation to serve as a retention area for plastic waste.…”
