Influence of Mechanical Yielding on Predictions of Saturation: The Saturation Line [PDF]

, 2017
It is now well accepted that the mechanical and the water retention behaviour of a soil under unsaturated conditions are coupled and, that such coupling, should be incorporated into a constitutive model for a realistic representation of soil’s response ...

Numerical prediction of vadose zone behaviour influenced by vegetation [PDF]

, 2006
Bioengineering aspects of native vegetation are currently, and rapidly, being evolved to improve soil stiffness, slope stabilisation, and erosion control. Apart from the reinforcement effect, tree roots establish sufficient matric suction to increase the

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Field Observations and Geotechnical Modeling of Dune Face Erosion During a Storm (Narrabeen Beach, Australia)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Quantifying dune face failure during storm wave conditions is critical for improving the predictive capability of coastal erosion models. However, most high‐resolution dune erosion observations used to validate these models were obtained from reduced‐scale laboratory experiments, raising questions about their applicability to field‐scale dunes.

Impact of temperature on the pullout of reinforcing geotextiles from unsaturated silt [PDF]

, 2020
This study investigates the thermal soil-geosynthetic interaction mechanisms of reinforcing geotextiles confined in compacted silt that may be encountered when using mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) walls as geothermal heat sinks.

Model‐Based Interpretation of Solute Exports and Carbon Partitioning During Shale Weathering in a Mountainous Hillslope

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The weathering of sedimentary rocks in high‐elevation catchments influences freshwater quality and the global carbon cycle. While individual biogeochemical mechanisms involved in this process are relatively well understood, quantifying their contributions to solute export and carbon fluxes under natural, transient conditions remains ...

Matric suctions to which soils in South Central England drain

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1972
SUMMARYIn a survey of soils in South Central England matric suctions were measured frequently during 1962 and 1963. Results for the period October to May are given for sites lying above the influence of the regional ground water table and show the matric suctions to which the soils drain.

A Simple Statistical Tool to Correct the Daily Temperature Effect on Dielectric Soil Matric Potential Sensor Readings

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution time series recorded by soil water dielectric sensors are often affected by other processes. Dielectric soil matric potential sensors, such as the TEROS 21, exhibit temperature sensitivity, resulting in deviations of readings from the true value due to soil temperature fluctuations.

A Simple Method Using High Matric Suction Calibration Points to Optimize Soil–Water Characteristic Curves Derived from the Centrifuge Method

Agriculture
The centrifuge method serves as an efficient and rapid approach for determining the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC). However, soil shrinkage during centrifugation remains overlooked and prior modified methods may suffer from complex operations ...

Experimental research on soil water characteristic curve of parallel specimens and its influence on mechanical behavior

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The drying tests on eight triaxial specimens with the same remolding condition are carried out for soil water characteristic curve (SWCC). The differences of SWCC are compared.
