Soil pedostructure-based method for calculating the soil-water holding properties [PDF]
MethodsX, 2018 Soil aggregates structure (pedostructure) plays a pivotal role in regulating water and nutrient circulation, and consequently defines soil health, productivity, and water use efficiency.

A framework for soil-water modeling using the pedostructure and Structural Representative Elementary Volume (SREV) concepts [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014 Current soil water models do not take into account the internal organization of the soil medium and consequently ignore the physical interaction between the water film at the surface of solids that form the soil structure and the structure itself.

Physics of the soil medium organization part 2: pedostructure characterization through measurement and modeling of the soil moisture characteristic curves [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014 Accurate measurement of the two soil moisture characteristic curves, namely, water retention curve (WRC) and soil shrinkage curve (SSC) is fundamental for the physical modeling of hydrostructural processes in vadose zone.

Soil Water Thermodynamic to Unify Water Retention Curve by Pressure Plates and Tensiometer [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2014 The pressure plate method is a standard method for measuring the pF curves, also called soil water retention curves, in a large soil moisture range from saturation to a dry state corresponding to a tension pressure of near 1500 kPa. However, the pressure

Hydrostructural Pedology, Culmination of the Systemic Approach of the Natural Environment
Systems, 2021 The subject of this article is the dynamics of water in a soil pedostructure sample whose internal environment is subjected to a potential gradient created by the departure of water through surface evaporation.

Modeling the Swelling Curve for Packed Soil Aggregates Using the Pedostructure Concept
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2006 The swelling curve is generally studied as structural soil volume dependence on water content during swelling, and not on time. In this paper, we show how the swelling curve defined as the specific volume of the soil as a function of time, V ( t ...

A multi-scale ''soil water structure'' model based on the pedostructure concept [PDF]
, 2009 Abstract. Current soil water models do not take into account the internal organization of the soil medium and, a fortiori, the physical interaction between the water film surrounding the solid particles of the soil structure, and the surface charges of this structure.
