Drought is a predominant cause of low yields worldwide. There is an urgent need for more
water efficient crop** systems facing large water consumption of irrigated agriculture and …

Research gaps in understanding flood changes at the catchment scale caused by changes
in forest management, agricultural practices, artificial drainage, and terracing are identified …

Regional-scale hydrological investigations that involve vegetation change usually neglect
root-induced modification (RIM) of soil hydraulic properties (SHP). However, there is …

Develo** urbanization, water shortage, watercourse pollution, and demands for more food
due to population growth require a more efficient water irrigation and fertilizer application …

This study was conducted to know crop** cycles required to improve OM status in soil and
to investigate the effects of medium‐term tillage practices on soil properties and crop yields …

Roots provide the primary mechanism that plants use to absorb water and nutrients from
their environment. These functions are dependent on developmental mechanisms that direct …

Aims Small scale root-pore interactions require validation of their impact on effective
hydraulic processes at the field scale. Our objective was to develop an interpretative …

Few studies have considered the effect of organic amendments on soil microbial activity and
its contributions to hydraulic conductivity under field conditions in semiarid region soils with …

Core Ideas Understanding of preferential flow is improving, stimulated partly by new
technologies. Empirical process understanding has outstripped the capability of models to …

Land degradation, and soil and nutrient loss, are significant environmental problems in semi-
arid agricultural environments in the Mediterranean Basin. One land use that is particularly …
