Increasing groundwater contamination across the globe triggered the concept of “aquifer
vulnerability”, which has been extensively used worldwide during past three to four decades …

The original review of macropores and water flow in soils by Beven and Germann is now 30
years old and has become one of the most highly cited papers in hydrology. This paper …

Water repellency (hydrophobicity) of soils is a property with major repercussions for plant
growth, surface and subsurface hydrology, and for soil erosion. Important advances have …

Microbial decomposition of soil organic matter produces a major flux of CO2 from terrestrial
ecosystems and can act as a feedback to climate change. Although climate‐carbon models …

This monograph presents, for the first time, a unified and comprehensive introduction to
some of the basic transport properties of porous media, such as electrical and hydraulic …

The purpose of this paper is to document some of the more important highlights of the
research and historical aspects concerning soil water-repellency. This effort traces the …

In heterogeneous structured soils, water and transported dissolved substances and
suspended particles and colloids may under certain conditions bypass most of the soil …

Soil column experiments in both the saturated and unsaturated regimes are widely used for
applied and theoretical studies in such diverse fields as transport model evaluation, fate and …

Similar to soils, soilless media are composed of three phases: solid, aqueous, and gaseous.
The substantial differences between the former and the latter are related to the solid phase …

In this study, we exploit dye patterns to identify flow types in macroporous soils as a step
forward from using dye patterns simply as qualitative pictures that illustrate preferential flow …
