Our environment is essential for not only the quality, but also the persistence of life on Earth.
Three of the most pressing environmental issues facing modern society are climate change …

Aims Conventional methodology using destructive sampling, which is laborious and has
poor spatial and temporal resolution, has limited our understanding of soil-plant interactions …

In this study, we evaluate the feasibility of using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
relaxometry measurements to characterize pore size distribution and hydraulic properties in …

The development of a robust method to non-invasively visualize root morphology in natural
soils has been hampered by the opaque, physical, and structural properties of soils. In this …

A comparison study of nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry at high and low magnetic
field (7 and 0.1 T) has been initiated for investigating the influence of the magnetic field …

Few methods exist for measuring rapidly changing fluid contents at the pore scale that
simultaneously allow whole flow field visualization. We present a method for using real-time …

To address the problems in the calibration of soil water content sensors, in this study, we
designed a low-cost edge electromagnetic field induction (EEMFI) sensor for soil water …

This study used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry at different Larmor
frequencies to investigate water dynamics in the pore space of natural porous media. Spin …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to study the process of infiltration in an
undisturbed core of coarse sandy loam during a repeated ponded infiltration experiment …

Water retention curves are essential for understanding the hydrologic behavior of partially
saturated porous media and modeling flow and transport processes within the vadose zone …
