Soil structure affects a range of soil functions (eg, water, air, heat, and nutrient transport) and
ecosystem services (eg, production, climate regulation). Agricultural intensification is a …

The ground is a natural grand system; it is composed of myriad constituents that aggregate
to form several geologic and biogenic systems. These systems operate independently and …

Land use changes are often considered to be the main factors influencing soil infiltration. But
the difference of soil infiltration capacity for different land use type is less clear. In this paper …

Soil water is the key limiting factor for achieving sustainable revegetation. Soil infiltration rate
plays an important role in determining the inputs from precipitation, which is important for the …

Abstract The climate and Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes evince the considerable
impact on water balance components by altering the hydrological processes. So, the present …

A study was conducted to determine the effect of different land use systems on soil physical
and chemical properties in Sodo Zuria Woreda of Wolaita zone Southern Ethiopia …

An understanding of soil moisture conditions is crucial for hydrological modeling and
hydrological processes. However, few studies have compared the differences between the …

Large-scale afforestation has seriously aggravated the consumption of soil water and
caused soil desiccation and even the dry soil layers, which has been restricting the survival …

Soil erodibility is an indispensable parameter for predicting soil erosion and evaluating the
benefits of soil and water conservation. Slope situation can alter revegetation and its effects …

Soil matrix flow plays a critical role in redistributing the precipitation input and enhancing
water storage in arid areas. Root channels can result in macropore flow which strongly …
