As an important parameter in recent and numerous environmental studies, soil moisture
(SM) influences the exchange of water and energy at the interface between the land surface …

Accurate and continuous measurements of soil thermal and hydraulic properties are
required for environmental, Earth and planetary science, and engineering applications, but …

Soil temperature varies seasonally and daily which may result from changes in radiant
energy and energy changes taking place through the soil surface. It governs the soil …

Extreme weather events are occurring more frequently, and research has shown that plant
diversity can help mitigate the impacts of climate change by increasing plant productivity and …

The thermal conductivity and water content relationship is required for quantitative study of
heat and water transfer processes in saturated and unsaturated soils. In this study, we …

Completely revised and updated, incorporating almost a decade's worth of developments in
this field, Environmental Soil Science, Third Edition, explores the entire reach of the subject …

Thermal properties dictate the storage and movement of heat in soils and as such influence
the temperature and heat flux in soils as a function of time and depth. The ability to monitor …

Urban land surface schemes have been developed to model the distinct features of the
urban surface and the associated energy exchange processes. These models have been …

The thermal conductivity of soils and rocks is an important property for the design of
thermally active ground structures such as geothermal energy foundations and borehole …

The dynamic distribution of thermal conditions present in saturated near-surface sediments
have been widely utilised to quantify the flow of water. A rapidly increasing number of …
