A mechanistic model (BCC-PSSICO) to predict changes in the hydraulic properties for bio-amended variably saturated soils
(2017-01)
Article
Open AccessThe accumulation of biofilms in porous media is likely to influence the overall hydraulic properties and, consequently, a sound understanding of the process is required for the proper design and management of many technological ... -
An analytical solution to study substrate-microbial dynamics in soils
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe provide an approximate analytical solution for the substrate-microbial dynamics of the organic carbon cycle in natural soils under hydro-climatic variable forcing conditions. The model involves mass balance in two carbon ... -
Connecting bacterial colonization to physical and biochemical changes in a sand box infiltration experiment
(Elsevier, 2014-09-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyInfiltration through sediments is linked to complex biogeochemical processes occurring at small spatial scales, often leading to a progressive reduction in infiltration rates due to microbial growth and/or mechanical ... -
Effect of spatial heterogeneity on rate of sedimentary O2 consumption reaction
(2013)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyQuantification of soil hotspots and hot-moments is one of the main challenges to understand the variability encountered in soils in terms of respiration activity and trace gas emissions. At the current state of the art, ... -
Linking biofilm spatial structure to real-time microscopic oxygen decay imaging
(2018-02)
Article
Open AccessTwo non-destructive techniques, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and planar optode (VisiSens imaging), were combined to relate the fine-scale spatial structure of biofilm components to real-time images of oxygen ... -
The effects of sediment depth and oxygen concentration on the use of organic matter: an experimental study using an infiltration sediment tank
(2015-04-02)
Article
Open AccessWater flowing through hyporheic river sediments or artificial recharge facilities promotes the development of microbial communities with sediment depth. We performed an 83-day mesocosm infiltration experment, to study ... -
Vadose zone oxygen (O2) dynamics during drying and wetting cycles: An artificial recharge laboratory experiment
(Elsevier, 2015-05-02)
Article
Open AccessVadose zone oxygen dynamics control all subsurface redox reactions and play a decisive role in maintaining groundwater quality. Although drying and wetting events are common in artificial recharge, their effects on subsurface ...
