Forests are vital ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by environmental stress;
exploring the possible trade-off between hydraulic safety and efficiency in plant xylem is …

Soil hydraulic properties (SHP) control water movement and storage and thus affect a wide
range of biogeochemical processes and ecosystem services. The objectives of this study …

The geomorphology of river basin is complex, and its soil sedimentary characteristics are
poorly defined. To study the spatial variability of soil structure in different sedimentary …

Fine‐scale topographic–edaphic gradients are common in tropical forests and drive species
spatial turnover and marked changes in forest structure and function. We evaluate how …

The silty clay in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is characterized by loose structure,
low strength, and strong capillary effect. Based on the technology of ancient glutinous rice …

Hydraulic parameters define the water retention, θ (ψ), and the unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity, K (θ), functions. These functions are usually obtained by fitting experimental …

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 …

A clean environment is an essential component of sustainable development, which is based
on a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of water, soil, and air. The soil water …

Accurate simulation of soil water dynamics is a key factor when using agricultural models for
guiding management decisions. However, the determination of soil hydraulic properties …

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 …
