Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014 Current soil water models do not take into account the internal organization of the soil medium and consequently ignore the physical interaction between the water film at the surface of solids that form the soil structure and the structure itself.

Equations for soil freezing characteristics curves based on the thermodynamics principles
Geoderma, 2023 Experimental studies related to the thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemo (THMC) behaviors of unsaturated frozen soils are cumbersome, expensive, and time consuming.

A repository of measured soil freezing characteristic curves: 1921 to 2021 [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2022 Soil freeze–thaw processes play a fundamental role in the hydrology, geomorphology, ecology, thermodynamics, and soil chemistry of cold regions' landscapes. In understanding these processes, the temperature of the soil is used as a proxy to represent the

Mapping Climate Zones of Iran Using Hybrid Interpolation Methods
Remote Sensing, 2022 Climate plays a key role in ecosystem services. Understanding microclimate change can be a significant help in making the right decision for ecosystems and buffering the effects of global warming. Given the large distances between meteorological stations

Hygro-thermal coupling in earth building materials [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Raw earth is emerging as a viable building material with lower carbon emissions than conventional concrete and fired bricks. Raw earth is as an excellent passive hygro-thermal regulator, which improves occupants’ comfort while reducing the need for ...

A thermodynamic formulation of root water uptake [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 By extracting bound water from the soil and lifting it to the canopy, root systems of vegetation perform work. Here we describe how root water uptake can be evaluated thermodynamically and demonstrate that this evaluation provides additional insights ...

Pore‐scale analytic model to calculate the suction stress in partially saturated soils
Vadose Zone Journal, 2022 The expression of effective stress in unsaturated conditions has remained controversial ever since the concept was first proposed in the 1950s by Bishop.

Hydrology and beyond: the scientific work of August Colding revisited [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 August Colding was one of the three pioneers who in the mid-1800s almost simultaneously and independently formulated the first law of thermodynamics, the two others being Robert Mayer and James Joule. This first, significant achievement was followed by a

Desorption Kinetics of Legacy Soil Phosphorus: Implications for Non-Point Transport and Plant Uptake
Soil Systems, 2022 Soil phosphorus (P) solubility and kinetics partly control dissolved P losses to surface water and uptake by plants. While previous studies have focused on batch techniques for measuring soil P desorption kinetics, flow-through techniques are more ...
