Vegetation Improves Hydro‐Mechanical Soil Resilience on Humid Tropical Slopes: Field Evidence for Sustainable Land Management

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11366-11383, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Landslides represent a recurring hazard in humid tropical regions, primarily driven by intense rainfall that weakens slope materials and reduces shear resistance. Vegetation is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution to improve near‐surface soil conditions; however, systematic field‐based hydro‐mechanical evidence from humid tropical ...

Matric suction of compacted soils

open access: yes, 2016
This project covers the direct and indirect measurement of matric suction of compacted soil. The soil used in this project was Bukit Timah Granite residual soil. Residual soil was compacted with standard Proctor and modified Proctor effort.

Improving Land Surface Model Soil Moisture Estimates Through Joint State‐Parameter Assimilation of In Situ Soil Moisture Observations

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
This study presents the first application of joint state‐parameter assimilation on the JULES land surface model, ingesting field‐scale COSMOS‐UK soil moisture observations using an En‐Var hybrid technique. Results showed that jointly updating PTF constants and initial soil moisture conditions yielded superior forecasts compared to updating either ...

Micrococcus endophyticus strain WH16 oxidizes elemental sulfur in sodic soil: Effect on soil properties and crop performance

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Micrococcus endophyticus is a heterotrophic, plant growth‐promoting endophyte that thrives within the inner tissues of various plants. This study presents the first report on the elemental sulfur (S°) oxidation potential of the M. endophyticus strain WH16, isolated from high sodic soils.

Developing continuum‐scale models for water flow in frozen soil

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract A widely accepted continuum‐scale model capable of accounting for pore‐scale processes reasonably remains elusive in the study of water flow through frozen soil, particularly within geo‐environmental science and geotechnical engineering applications.

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

open access: yesAgriculture
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

open access: yesYantu 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.

Effects of mycorrhizal Bermuda grass on low-range soil matric suction

open access: yes, 2021
Purpose: Soil matric suction, or negative water potential, contributes to soil physical stability (e.g., slope). Plants retain soil matric suction as they take up and transpire water in soil.

Analytical calculation of steady seepage in unsaturated layered soils

open access: yesShuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
The analytical calculations of unsaturated steady-state seepage in the widespread layered soils wewre relatively rare. Based on the Darcy seepage theorem and the continuity condition of soil layer interface, a mathematical model describing the steady ...
