Over the last 60 years, soil microbiologists have accumulated a wealth of experimental data
showing that the bulk, macroscopic parameters (eg, granulometry, pH, soil organic matter …

Macroscopic models of soil organic matter (SOM) turnover have faced difficulties in
reproducing SOM dynamics or in predicting the spatial distribution of carbon stocks. These …

Concrete cracks have an adverse impact on the durability and safety of the concrete
structures; and thus, repairing cracks to improve their mechanical properties is of great …

The chemical mechanisms by which biochar addition affected soil microorganisms have
been extensively studied. However, few studies investigated the effect of physical alteration …

Bacteria in porous media, such as soils, aquifers, and filters, often form surface-attached
communities known as biofilms. Biofilms are affected by fluid flow through the porous …

Various processes such as heterogeneous reactions or biofilm growth alter a porous
medium's underlying geometric structure. This significantly affects its hydrodynamic …

Bioaggregates are condensed porous materials comprising microbes, organic and inorganic
matters, and water. They are commonly found in natural and engineered porous media and …

Since the lack of parametric analysis and optimization on the output power density was
considerable in previous studies, this study tries to analyze the impact of the most critical …

This study investigates the functional correspondence between porescale hydrodynamics,
mass transfer, pore structure and biofilm morphology during progressive biofilm colonization …

Bacteria overwhelmingly live in geometrically confined habitats that feature small pores or
cavities, narrow channels, or nearby interfaces. Fluid flows through these confined habitats …
