This review discusses the causes and consequences of 'non‐equilibrium'water flow and
solute transport in large structural pores or macropores (root and earthworm channels …

Understanding and quantification of phosphorus (P) fluxes are key requirements for
predictions of future forest ecosystems changes as well as for transferring lessons learned …

Until some two decades ago, it was believed that only the soil liquid and gaseous phases
were mobile and could facilitate the transport of chemicals and nutrients through the vadose …

Air‐water interfaces play an important role in unsaturated porous media, giving rise to
phenomena like capillarity. Less recognized and understood are interactions of colloids with …

Large amounts of biosolids are produced as a by-product of municipal wastewater
treatment. They are composed of about 50% organic and 50% inorganic material. The …

The leaching of P from the upper 20 cm of forest topsoils influences nutrient (re-) cycling and
the redistribution of available phosphate and organic P forms. However, the effective …

Particle-facilitated transport is a key mechanism of phosphorus (P) loss in agroecosystems.
We assessed contributions of colloid-and nanoparticle-bound P (nPP; 1–415 nm) to total P …

The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is one of the most developed and densely populated regions in
China. Quantifying the amount of pathogens in the source of drinking water is important for …

Colloid transport in subsurface has received considerable attention recently because mobile
colloids can facilitate the transport of heavy metals in soils to contaminate groundwater …

Subsurface losses of colloidal and truly dissolved phosphorus (P) from arable land can
cause ecological damage to surface water. To gain deeper knowledge about subsurface …
