The probability of slush avalanches (where water-saturated snow releases as a slide) is related to the porosity and permeability of the snow, which play a key role in snow stability.

According to the authors, the species specific differences in oxygen consumption rates may explain the behavioral differences between the 2 earthworm species: A. gracilis, because it requires more oxygen at night than it does during the day, leaves water-saturated soil at night; while P. corethrurus, which has a lower overall oxygen requirement without a daily rhythm, can tolerate being immersed.

The two other forest types although water-saturated also support a diverse vegetative layer with plants and trees that are adapted to the watery conditions.

The height of these nozzles is crucial: the mist must form above a narrow layer of stagnant, water-saturated air that usually keeps a lid on seawater, preventing its evaporation.

Another outcome of this research was the discovery of plentiful Po radio-halos in metamorphic rocks.6 Such a finding was predicted, because hydrothermal fluids are generated in water-saturated sedimentary rocks as they become deeply buried, helping to transform them into regional metamorphic complexes.7-9 Thus it was argued that the same hydrothermal fluid transport model could likewise explain the formation of Po radiohalos in those regional metamorphic rocks where an adequate supply of U-decay products occurred.10
