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 …

Dyes are important tracers to investigate subsurface water movement. For more than a
century, dye tracers have provided clues about the hydrological cycle as well as flow and …

A quantitative description of soil compaction effects is required to improve soil management
for reducing compaction problems in crop production and environment. Our objective is to …

The relations between soil pore structure induced by tillage and infiltration play an important
role in flow characteristics of water and solutes in soil. In this study, we assessed the effect of …

Water scarcity constrains the livelihoods of millions of people in tropical drylands. Tree
planting in these environments is generally discouraged due to the large water consumption …

Fractals are spatial and temporal model systems generated using iterative algorithms with
simple scaling rules. This paper reviews the literature on spatial fractals as it applies to soil …

Emphasizing pioneering achievements, this work offers a clear and systematic description of
various soil-water phenomena and their applications to soil problems such as water …

In this study, we exploit dye patterns to identify flow types in macroporous soils as a step
forward from using dye patterns simply as qualitative pictures that illustrate preferential flow …

The change of soil macropores, especially fissures, due to freeze-thaw (FT) has important
implications for soil engineering properties such as hydraulic conductivity and …

A correct statistical model of soil pore structure can be critical for understanding flow and
transport processes in soils, and creating synthetic soil pore spaces for hypothetical and …
