Soil, the living terrestrial skin of the Earth, plays a central role in supporting life and is home
to an unimaginable diversity of microorganisms. This review explores key drivers for …

Despite often being conceptualized as a thin layer of soil around roots, the rhizosphere is
actually a dynamic system of interacting processes. Hiltner originally defined the …

A comprehensive understanding of the transport and fate of per-and poly-fluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS) in the subsurface is critical for accurate risk assessments and design of …

Miscible-displacement experiments are conducted with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) to
determine the contribution of adsorption at the air–water interface to retention during …

A new soil water retention curve (SWRC) equation, generalized from previous models and
the latest understanding of soil-water interaction, explicitly accounts for capillary and …

Experimental data from different testing methodologies on different compacted clayey soils,
with dominant bimodal pore size distribution, are presented and analysed, to provide a …

In the last 3 years there has been a huge increase in the use of pore-scale modeling to study
multiphase flow and transport in porous media. Starting from single pore models of fluid …

Pore-network models have been used to describe a wide range of properties from capillary
pressure characteristics to interfacial area and mass transfer coefficients. The void space of …

The immense diversity of microbial life found in the vadose zone reflects the extremely
heterogeneous and highly dynamic aquatic and chemical environments formed within soil …

Tortuosity phenomena of pore space influence the transport of water, solutes, and gases in
soil. This study presents three analyses linking tortuosity and transport in unsaturated soil …
