Recently, there has been a revival in the development of models simulating coupled heat
and water transport in cold regions. These models represent significant advances in our …

We reviewed the use of the van Genuchten–Mualem (VGM) model to parameterize soil
hydraulic properties and for develo** pedotransfer functions (PTFs). Analysis of literature …

Evaporation experiments are commonly used to derive hydraulic properties of soils. In the
simplified evaporation method, as proposed by Schindler [Schindler, U., 1980. Ein …

Although it has many positive effects, soil structure may adversely affect the filtering function
of the vadose zone that protects natural water resources from various sources of pollution …

A correct quantification of mass and energy exchange processes among Earth's land
surface, groundwater, and atmosphere requires an accurate parameterization of soil …

The evaporation method is frequently used for simultaneous determination of soil water
retention and hydraulic conductivity relationships. Tension is measured at two depths within …

We revisited the Vereecken database, which has been used to derive pedotransfer functions
(PTFs) to estimate the soil hydraulic parameters of Belgian soils. We developed new PTFs …

In this work we use two numerical methods which rely only on the geometry and material
parameters to predict capillary hysteresis in a porous material. The first numerical method is …

Carbon reserves are important for maintaining tree function during and after stress.
Increasing tree mortality driven by drought globally has renewed the interest in how plants …

Assessing the vulnerability of groundwater to adverse effects of human impacts is one of the
most important problems in applied hydrogeology. At the same time, many of the …
