Infiltration regulates the movement and storage of water at the soil–atmosphere interface
and is, therefore, a key component of many related physical and biogeochemical processes …

Field‐characterised soil morphological data (to 1 m depth) and modelled soil water release
characteristics are recorded in the S‐map database for soils covering approximately 40% of …

Estimating of soil sorptivity (S) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K s) parameters by field
infiltration tests are widespread due to the ease of the experimental protocol and data …

We developed a novel, lognormal, pore-scale, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity model, K
(ψ) M odel, which does not require saturated hydraulic conductivity, K s, as an input …

The hydrological cycle is strongly affected by climate changes causing extreme weather
events with long drought periods and heavy rainfall events. To predict the hydrological …

Efficient simulation of water-flow processes in the vadose zone is crucial to increase
agricultural productivity within environmental limits. This requires deriving detailed soil …

In this study, we developed a new general approach to estimate the macroscopic capillary
length (λ c) using different hydraulic function models and related shape parameters, along …

Dual-porosity models have been shown to improve models of soil–water movement and
enhance the water balance of structured soils. In this study we introduce novel, continuous …

The heterogeneous distribution of water-repellent materials at the soil surface causes a
phenomenon known as fractional wettability. This condition frequently triggers …

ABSTRACT BEST (Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters) methods of soil
hydraulic characterisation are widely applied for estimating sorptivity, S, and saturated …
