TL;DR: A retrospective synthesis of past and current nutrient inputs, impairments by planktonic and benthic HABs and hypoxia, modelling and Best Management Practices in the Lake Erie basin demonstrates that phosphorus reduction is of primary importance, but the effects of climate, nitrogen and other factors should also be considered in the context of adaptive management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated desiccation cracking of three compacted liner soils obtained from local landfills in southeast Michigan and quantified the cracks using the crack intensity factor (CIF), which is the ratio of the surface area of cracks to the total surface area.

TL;DR: In this article, a laboratory investigation on a scaled model of a landfill liner was conducted to provide data regarding the occurrence and extent of desiccation cracking of prototype liners, and the crack intensity factor, CIF, was introduced as a descriptor of the extent of surficial cracking.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of fiber reinforcement on the development of desiccation cracks in compacted clay samples, as well as the effect of the fiber additives on soil workability, compaction characteristics and hydraulic conductivity was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the variation of water content and pore water suction for compacted clayey soils was investigated for six conditions, covering a range of compactive efforts and water contents.
