Reducing drought vulnerability of forest soils using Xanthan gum-based soil conditioners
HeliyonClimate change increases the frequency and severity of droughts in many parts of Europe, thereby affecting the availability of water resources. Therefore, preserving the soil water content is essential for maintaining forest diversity and plant vitality.

Soil amendment effects on field‐saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of sodic soils
Agrosystems, Geosciences & EnvironmentSoil sodicity degrades soil structure and restricts water movement by promoting clay swelling, dispersion, and surface sealing, thereby reducing infiltration and hydraulic conductivity.

Non-Gaussian effects on hydraulic conductivity upscaling in unsaturated porous media via direct averaging [PDF]
, 2019 Hydraulic conductivity is a key parameter governing groundwater flow processes. In this work, hydraulic conductivity was upscaled with the objective of assessing the optimal value of the p-power parameter (of the power averaging upscaling approach) that

Hysteretic seepage analysis in unsaturated soil covers
, 2012 This paper aims to study numerically the effect of hysteresis on the hydraulic behaviour of unsaturated soil covers. The Richards equation is coupled with the hysteretic soil water retention curve (SWRC), to describe the flow in unsaturated soils.
