Dans un sol hydromorphe, une saturation temporaire ou permanente des pores par l'eau provoque un déficit prolongé en oxygène. Les traces d’hydromorphie(taches, rouilles, teintes bleuâtres-verdâtres des gleys, abondance et aspect de la matière organique,...) peuvent être absentes ou masquées, alors même que le sol est engorgé dans les horizons calcaires ou déferrifiés, dans les sols à nappe circulante oxydante.

Study of the transition between the two domains showed that hydromorphy, increasingly accompanied by degradation started at the basis of the silty horizons and gradually reached the outer surface. Hydromorphy caused by an excess of water either of topographical origin or due to permeability variation of the substrate initiates the differentiation of the system. 2, record 2, English, - hydromorphy

One would have expected hydromorphy (poor soil drainage) to be a common constraint in such countries as Bangladesh, The Netherlands and Finland, but not that the second most poorly drained country in the world is the United Kingdom! 3, record 2, English, - hydromorphy

Les pédologues ont pris l’habitude de désigner par hydromorphie les phénomènes dus à un excès d’eau dans le sol. Les sols hydromorphes sont donc les sols dont la genèse est dominée par un excès d’eau [...] dans tout ou partie du profil. 3, record 2, French, - hydromorphie

Most of the chlorine produced in the world is manufactured by electrolysis of sodium chloride brine. Two processes are in common use: the mercury cell process and the diaphragm cell process. 4, record 5, English, - mercury%20cell%20process
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Mercury cathode process. In this process there is no need for a diaphragm or for any "counterflow" device, since the alkali metal (sodium or potassium) is discharged on a cathode consisting of a flowing mercury layer and becomes dissolved in it, thus forming an amalgam that is continuously drained out of the electrolytic cell. ... The amalgam is flowed into a reaction vessel, called 'decomposer' or 'denuder', where it is reacted with water so as to liberate its alkali metal content, with production of caustic and hydrogen. 2, record 5, English, - mercury%20cell%20process

Cellules à cathode de mercure. On utilise une cathode circulante en mercure au contact de laquelle le sodium formé s’amalgame tandis que le chlore se dégage; le mercure contenant environ 0, 2 p. 100 de sodium s’écoule de la cellule et passe dans un décomposeur dans lequel il fournit, en présence d’eau, de l'hydrogène et de la soude. 1, record 5, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20cathode%20de%20mercure
