Marine soft soils are characterized by high compressibility, low strength, and low permeability, which often result in excessive settlement and stability problems. Drainage consolidation methods are widely regarded as effective solutions for improving such soils. This review summarizes recent progress from four perspectives: optimization of traditional techniques, combined applications of multiple methods, development of emerg...

Methyltrimethyltridecylchromans (MTTCs), a class of oxygen-containing aromatic derivatives, have been used as indicators of paleosalinity in source rocks and crude oils. However, the reliability of these compounds as indicators in mature organic matter remains unclear, hindering a definitive assessment of their significance for oil–oil or oil–source rock correlation. In this study, a suite of mature oils and associated source...

Climate warming is expected to contribute to the decline of arthropod species diversity and biomass around the world. However, direct experimental evidence is lacking. Here, we report on a field experiment documenting arthropod species diversity and biomass responses to passive simulated warming for six consecutive years in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau. The field warming experiment consisted of six large open‐top ch...
