Impact of soil matric potential on the fine-scale spatial distribution and activity of specific microbial degrader communities

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceThe impact of the soil matric potential on the relationship between the relative abundance of degraders and their activity and on the spatial distribution of both at fine scales was determined to understand the role of environmental

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2143-2157, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Hydraulic-Mechanical Properties of Unsaturated Granite-Weathered Residual Soil in Korea

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, 2019
This study performed a series of experiments to examine the hydraulic-mechanical properties of granite-weathered residual soil in the Korean Peninsula. Particular attention was paid to the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and shear strength under ...

Leaky Sewers Hydraulically Disconnect from Groundwater: A Proof‐of‐Concept

open access: yesGroundwater, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 483-497, July/August 2026.
In this study, we newly demonstrate that leaky pipes can become hydraulically disconnected from the underlying groundwater—a phenomenon analogous to river–groundwater interactions. Through numerical modeling, we show that, as the groundwater table declines, the leakage flux from the pipe (in absolute terms) initially increases until a critical depth ...

Understanding soil water effects on nitrogen release from controlled‐release fertilizers

open access: yes, 2021
Controlled‐release fertilizers (CRFs) have the potential to deliver crop production and environmental benefits through better control of applied nitrogen (N) in cropping systems.

Swelling Potential of Fine‐Grained Soil: Theory, Determination, and Validation

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Swelling potential (SP) has long been used as a terminology to describe a soil's expansibility. It is commonly defined in terms of pressure or deformation under certain constraints.

Estimation of water retention in Oxisols cultivated with cotton plant in the cerrado of Mato Grosso = Estimativa da retenção de água em Latossolos do Cerrado mato-grossense cultivados com algodão

open access: yesAgro@mbiente On-line, 2014
In the state of Mato Grosso, the area planted with cotton is mainly concentrated in the plains, where the climate Aw determines an alternation between a rainy and a dry season, and where the soil is predominant Red-Yellow Latosol and Red Latosol (Oxisol).

Root Dynamics Mitigate Warm and Dry Biases Over the Central United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The central United States frequently exhibits warm and dry biases in simulations of summertime conditions, a persistent feature that remains unresolved. While previous studies linked these biases to misrepresented surface energy exchanges, the role of belowground processes remains poorly understood.

Soil Matric Potential, Plant Water Relations, and Growth in Asparagus

open access: yesHortScience, 1987
Abstract Soil moisture treatments were initiated in a greenhouse study using 14-weekold asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L. cv. Jersey Giant) seedlings. Treatments consisted of drying pots to a minimum soil matric potential ranging from –0 .0 5 to –1 .5 MPa prior to ...
