Circular ssRNA genomes of 246–301 nt depending on species and sequence variants. Members of the genus Cocadviroid infect monocots (CCCVd; coconut tinangaja viroid, CTiVd) or dicots (hop latent viroid, HLVd; citrus bark cracking viroid, CBCVd). CCCVd and CTiVd only infect members of the family Arecaceae. (ICTV. 2026. Genus: Cocadviroid https://ictv.global/report/chapter/pospiviroidae/pospiviroidae/cocadviroid)
Some soil water is strongly fixed by capillary effects in soil pores and is not available for plants. The smaller the pores the higher the water retention. (BonaRes project)

Diapir: A dome or anticlinal fold in which the overlying rocks or sediments have been ruptured by the squeezing-out of plastic core material. Diapirs in sedimentary strata usually contain cores of salt or shale; igneous intrusions may also show diapiric structure. (Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms, https://www.nrcs.usda.gov)
