We therefore hypothesize that such changes, and associated modifications in water properties, underlie, together with the temperature changes, the ecological alterations described in both sub-basins.
It remains to be determined whether the modifications in water transport properties constitute a general flooding tolerance mechanism or are unique to this tree species.
Overall, the EMT affected the thermohaline and bio-chemical properties of the Mediterranean waters, leading to substantial modifications in the water exchanges between the western and eastern Mediterranean, and the Adriatic and Aegean Seas [60], [37].
First, the modifications in the water structure lead to a stabilization of the closed state.
Li et al.[ 28] reported that several physiological changes related to in vitro culture, such as leaf structural changes, modifications in plant water content and changes in photosynthetic systems, are related to the stress provoked by in vitro conditions, and the stress seems to be related to the content of global DNA methylation.
In GM, apart from the addition of basal dendrites and modification in tissue water content and cell packing density, it is known that changes in cortical cytoarchitecture affect how water diffuses [ 34, 35].
It is an effective tool in separating hydrochemical analysis data for critical studies with respect to the sources of dissolved constituents (major cations: Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, and major anions: HCO3−, Cl−, SO42− and CO3−) in the waters, modifications in the character of water as it passes through an area and related geochemical problems.
We monitored the effect of factors such as the method of modification (raw, boiled in water and soaked in a lye bath), and the effect of the adhesive used to bind components (polyester powder and urea formaldehyde).

Since PVA is soluble in water, modification methods such as crosslink have to be used to increase its stability.
