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 ...

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

Water uptake by trees in a riparian hardwood forest (Rhine floodplain, France) [PDF]
, 2008 Water flow in the soil–root–stem system was studied in a flooded riparian hardwood forest in the upper Rhine floodplain. The study was undertaken to identify the vertical distribution of water uptake by trees in a system where the groundwater is at a ...

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 ...

, 2001 In the more than 80 references related to banded vegetation patterns, five continents and 12 countries are represented. The early research concerned only the vegetation pattern itself (Clos-Arceduc 1956). Hypotheses regarding ecological functioning were then proposed between 1956 and 1970 and clearly synthesized by (1971) for seven countries.

Assessment of soil erosion in olive orchards (Olea europaea L.) under cover crops management systems in the tropical region of Brazil [PDF]
, 2020 In the tropics, water erosion is one of the most important factors leading to the degradation and deterioration of agricultural land. Olive orchards have a low canopy coverage, especially during the first years after planting, due to the low density of ...
