Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing
about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical …

Abstract The HYDRUS-1D and HYDRUS (2D/3D) computer software packages are widely
used finite-element models for simulating the one-and two-or three-dimensional movement …

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 …

The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services
presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil …

Plant root water uptake (RWU) has been documented for the past five decades from water
stable isotopic analysis. By comparing the (hydrogen or oxygen) stable isotopic …

The persistence of vegetation under climate change will depend on a plant's capacity to
exploit water resources. We analyzed water source dynamics in piñon pine and juniper trees …

Soils form the skin of the Earth's surface, regulating water and biogeochemical cycles and
generating production of food, timber, and textiles around the world. Changes in soil and its …

Vegetation and the water cycles are inherently coupled across a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Water availability interacts with plant ecophysiology and controls …

Soil mechanical impedance, hypoxia and water stress are the main soil physical causes of
reduced root growth, but they are rarely included in root growth models. The aim of this work …

Technological and methodological progress is essential to improve our understanding of
fundamental processes in natural and engineering sciences. In this paper, we will address …
