Morphology of rain water channelization in systematically varied model sandy soils [PDF]
, 2014 We visualize the formation of fingered flow in dry model sandy soils under different raining conditions using a quasi-2d experimental set-up, and systematically determine the impact of soil grain diameter and surface wetting property on water ...

A modification of the mixed form of Richards equation and its application in vertically inhomogeneous soils [PDF]
, 2011 Recently, new soil data maps were developed, which include vertical soil properties like soil type. Implementing those into a multilayer Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-Transfer (SVAT) scheme, discontinuities in the water content occur at the interface ...

Critical conditions for the wetting of soils [PDF]
, 2006 The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota and in determining whether flooding and soil erosion will occur. The analysis used in common measurements of soil hydrophobicity makes the assumption that water always enters soils ...

Journal of Delta Urbanism, 2020 The present investigation portrays an experimental line of design and relational thinking aimed at establishing critical design premises in relation with the present state of change and crisis (Goddard et al., 2015 and Maxmen 2018). The description of abiotic and biotic shifts within the different realms -atmosphere, water and soil- inform the making ...

Relationships Between Key Dryland Ecosystem Services: A Case Study in Ordos, China
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Dryland ecosystem services (ESs) have been severely harmed by global environmental changes and increased human activities. To improve ESs, it is necessary to understand how they interact in drylands.

Prediction of Soil Water Characteristic Curve Based on Soil Water Evaporation [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 Soil water characteristic curves (SWCC) and soil water evaporation curves both represent the laws of water content variation in the natural state. Aiming to investigate the relationship between them further, Hunan sand with six dry densities were used in this study, and a series of experimental studies were performed.
