Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Hydraulic-mechanical coupling in claystone is of great importance for repository research, as claystone is considered a possible host rock and hydraulic-mechanical coupled processes can affect the integrity of the barrier. Of particular importance in this context are excavation damage zones and hydraulically-induced microcracks and fractures. In this work, two constitutive equations developed for these hydraulic-mechanical cou...
On Multi-Component Gas Migration in Single-Phase SystemsNARA Subscribed
The present work deals with diffusion of gases in fully saturated porous media. We test and validate the gas transport mechanism of dissolution and diffusion, implemented in the TH 2 M process class in the open-source finite-element software OpenGeoSys. We discuss the importance of gas diffusion for the integrity of the multi-barrier system. Furthermore, we present a multi-component mass balance equation implementation in Pyth...
Belowground competition among invading detritivoresNARA Subscribed
The factors regulating soil animal communities are poorly understood. Current theory favors niche complementarity and facilitation over competition as the primary forms of non‐trophic interspecific interaction in soil fauna; however, competition has frequently been suggested as an important community‐structuring factor in earthworms, ecosystem engineers that influence belowground processes. To date, direct evidence of competit...
