Climatology and trends of extreme precipitation in France: evaluation of an explicit-convection regional climate model

Climate change is intensifying the global water cycle, with extreme precipitation events increasing in frequency and intensity at the global scale. While trends in daily precipitation extremes are well-documented, sub-daily extremes – critical for flash flood risk – remain poorly...

Ground beetles in agroforestry system show functional traits and activity-density differences according to distance to trees

Alley-cropping systems are arable agroforestry systems in which tree rows and associated grassy strips are established within cropped fields. This constitutes a promising approach to promote biodiversity and associated services in the vicinity of crops. However, there is still li...

Elastoplastic analysis of tunnels in Hoek–Brown rock masses exhibiting strain softening

This paper proposes an adaptive ring-by-ring semi-analytical framework for elastoplastic analysis of circular tunnels in strain-softening Hoek–Brown rock under hydrostatic in-situ stress. The excavation unloading process is discretized via equal radial stress increments, with the...
