The current emphasis on restoring habitat structure-without explicitly considering food webs-has been less successful than hoped in terms of enhancing the status of targeted species and often overlooks important constraints on ecologically effective...
The usual approach to calculation of the ultimate bearing
capacity of plastic silt is to assume no porewater drainage occurs
during the loading period. The coefficient of permeability of plastic
silt is generally significantly larger than clay; therefore, partial
drainage of porewater may occur during the loading period. This
study...
