Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

We reviewed the use of the van Genuchten–Mualem (VGM) model to parameterize soil
hydraulic properties and for develo** pedotransfer functions (PTFs). Analysis of literature …

The completely revised and updated edition of the classic guide to soil physics The revised
edition of an environmental soil science classic, Soil Physics, Sixth Edition presents updated …

Starting from the background of nanofluidics in other disciplines, this paper describes the
present state of research in this field and discusses possible directions of development …

Compaction and shearing, as well as the rearrangement of soil aggregates and clods due to
shrinkage, among other processes, can strongly affect the pore geometry of agricultural …

Preferential flow, a major influence in unsaturated soil and rock almost everywhere, occurs
by multiple phenomenologically distinct hydraulic processes. For the mode known as …

Evaporation from porous media involves mass and energy transport including phase
change, vapor diffusion, and liquid flow, resulting in complex displacement patterns affecting …

We describe the most important developments in the application of three theoretical tools to
modeling of the morphology of porous media and flow and transport processes in them. One …

The commonly used hydraulic models only account for capillary water retention and
conductivity. Adsorptive water retention and film conductivity is neglected. This leads to …

Autonomous capillary systems (CSs), where liquids are displaced by means of capillarity,
are efficient, fast and convenient platforms for many bioanalytical applications. The proper …
