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

Vadose 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 ...

Sewage Sludge and Cashew Bagasse Biochars Promote Changes in Selected Physical Attributes Related to the Structure of Degraded Dryland Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 460-478, August 2026.
This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger

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

Agro@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).

Water and Gas Exchange Responses of Five Related Blueberry Species (Ericaceae spp.) to the Dry Season in the High‐Andean Forest of the Colombian Eastern Cordillera

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccinium, Cavendishia, and Macleania are typical genera of blueberries from the Ericaceae belt, a narrow ecosystem that connects the high Andean forest and páramo, where fragmentation makes the species more vulnerable to climate change. To answer the question of whether five related blueberry species could physiologically behave similarly in ...

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

HortScience, 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 ...

Pore Size Effect on Melting Point in Saturated Frozen Soil Systems: A Pressure Perspective at Molecular Scale

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The melting point depression of water confined in porous media with varying pore sizes has been widely observed. Existing models remain insufficient for describing water phase change in smaller pores (i.e., nano pore), where surface effects become significant and water molecules are inhomogeneously distributed near solid surface.

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

Water 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.

Overland Flow Dynamics on a Cracked Soil Slope Under Drying‐Wetting Cycles: An Integrated Hydrological and Infrared Thermographic Study

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Although overland flow strongly governs soil erosion and sediment transport, its response to desiccation cracking induced by drying‐wetting cycles is not fully understood. This study addresses this gap through laboratory rainfall simulations on a slope model subjected to three drying‐wetting cycles.

Assessing plant soil water availability in drought conditions: A comparative analysis of conventional and minimum tillage, example from Slovenia

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
Tillage systems, such as conventional tillage (CT) and minimum tillage (MT), with reduced tillage and incorporation of surface crop residues, lead to changes in soil properties, including organic matter content and soil structure, and can alter water ...

A Novel Approach to Characterize and Model Drywell Infiltration Capacity

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Drywells are vadose‐zone wells constructed for infiltration and recharge, typically positioned far above the water table. They provide for efficient infiltration, with high infiltration rates per land area, because the infiltration process is below the land surface.
