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 ...

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2019 Pothohar region of the Punjab, Pakistan is rain-fed with undulating topography. Soils of the area are predominantly loose with low water retention capacity and are vulnerable to erosion. Erratic and high intensity rainfall causes land erosion in the area

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 ...

INFLUENCE OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE COMPOST ON YIELD OF TOMATOAPPLIED SOLELY AND IN COMBINATION WITH INORGANIC FERTILIZER WHERE NITROGEN IS THE ONLY VARIABLE FACTOR [PDF]
Malaysian Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 2021 Municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) is considered as one of the prominent fertilizers that improve soil health and productivity. To evaluate the effects of MSWC on plant growth, an experiment was conducted by using sole MSWC and with a combination of ...

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 ...

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.

General procedure to initialize the cyclic soil water balance by the Thornthwaite and Mather method [PDF]
, 2010 The original Thornthwaite and Mather method, proposed in 1955 to calculate a climatic monthly cyclic soil water balance, is frequently used as an iterative procedure due to its low input requirements and coherent estimates of water balance components ...
