Conservation management practices–including agroforestry, cover crop**, no-till, reduced
tillage, and residue return–have been applied for decades to control surface runoff and soil …

Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread natural phenomenon that results from a
complex interplay between the hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and …

Theories and models used in soil hydrological sciences rely on the knowledge of the
spatially and temporally variable soil hydraulic properties, ie the water retention and …

Despite some progress, the importance of stemflow remains obscured partly due to
computations emphasizing canopy interception loss. We advocate for two metrics—the …

The need for energy and the increasing importance of climate change mitigation are leading
to a conversion from conventional to renewable energy sources. Solar photovoltaic (PV) …

Soil capacity to support life and to produce economic goods and services is strongly linked
to the maintenance of good soil physical quality (SPQ). In this study, the SPQ of citrus …

Forest management practices play an important role in regulating the soil water-holding
capacity of plantation. However, most studies focus on soil water dynamics present during …

Soil water plays a key role in vegetation growth and recovery, mainly replenished by rainfall
in the water-limited areas. Thinning is an important practice for forest reconstruction and soil …

Maintaining and improving the water conservation capacity of forest ecosystems is an
important step in building regional ecological protection barrier. At present, there is a lack of …

Soil organic carbon pools have an important role in the maintenance of ecosystems as a
source of energy for soil microorganisms. Soil biological and biochemical properties are …
