Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract The hydraulic properties of silty sand are affected by a combination of internal and external factors such as the compaction, moisture content, and groundwater properties. This study investigated the measurement methods and hydraulic characteristics of unsaturated silty sand.

Evaporation‐induced salt precipitation and feedback on water–heat transport in saline soil
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract The precipitation and growth of salt crystals significantly affect soil water and heat balance. However, the effects of salt precipitation on water–heat flow in unsaturated soil remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the influence mechanisms of salt precipitation on water and heat transport in saline sandy soil by conducting controlled ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract How water is stored within‐ and released from‐the vadose zone controls groundwater recharge, plant water uptake, and the movement of dissolved solutes (nutrients, carbon, pollutants). The goal of this study was to determine the age of water recharging groundwater during the growing season in a temperate agricultural catchment. We measured soil

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Soil freezing characteristics are predominantly governed by the mechanism of bound water, which essentially constitutes a multicomponent cations distribution within the electrical double‐layer (EDL) on clay particles. The freezing behavior of bound water is determined by two critical factors: (a) the distribution characteristics of cation ...

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract Plant‐available water and adequate soil aeration are two fundamental requirements for successful plant growth. These prerequisites have generally been assessed independently in relation to plant growth, with limited focus on their complementary and competing behavior in a soil–water matrix.
