Gypsum soils are both a problem and a puzzle, which is precisely why they deserve
attention. Gypseous (high-gypsum) soils generally occupy sparsely populated land with …

One of the prehistoric techniques of salt production consisted of using ceramic vessels,
known as briquetage, for the artificial evaporation of salt water. This paper summarizes all …

Groundwater sulfate contamination becomes a big concern in urbanized areas where
urbanization expansion continues. This study investigates the spatial distribution of sulfate in …

Spain occupies a very prominent position as a world producer of gypsum. Consequently, the
industrial processes are more refined, as the production volumes of the factories are much …

The analysis of plant elemental composition and the underlying factors affecting its variation
are a current hot topic in ecology. Ecological adaptation to atypical soils may shift plant …

Late Miocene sedimentary records in the Gibraltar arch region hold fundamental information
on the Atlantic-Mediterranean connectivity before, during and after the Messinian Salinity …

The main purpose of this work is to analyze the elastic properties (ie Young's modulus and
Poisson's ratio) of gypsum specimens manufactured by traditional methods (non-industrial …

Evaporites flow in the solid state under relatively low differential stress and have unique
mechanical properties compared to other sedimentary rocks. Worldwide, they control the …

Integration of extensive fieldwork, remote sensing mapping and 3D models from high‐
quality drone photographs relates tectonics and sedimentation to define the Jurassic–early …

Rainfall and biocrusts are important sources of temporal and spatial environmental
heterogeneity and niche differentiation for annual plants, a major component of diversity in …
