Soil Pore Network Complexity Changes Induced by Wetting and Drying Cycles-A Study Using X-ray Microtomography and 3D Multifractal Analyses. [PDF]
Soils are dynamic and complex systems in their natural state, which are subjected to profound changes due to management. Additionally, agricultural soils are continuously exposed to wetting and drying (W-D) cycles, which can cause modifications in the ...

X-ray microtomography analysis of soil pore structure dynamics under wetting and drying cycles.
Highlights • µCT allowed quantifying morphological changes in the region of the sample close to the hydraulic contact.• 3D images permitted detailed analysis of the pore shape and size distribution.• Tortuosity and pore connectivity was affected by ...

Deterioration of the Internal Structure of Loess under Dry‐Wet Cycles [PDF]
To understand the structural damage evolution process of loess under the action of dry‐wet cycles, a triaxial test of a dry‐wet cycle was performed by considering three influencing factors: initial moisture content, amplitude of the dry‐wet cycle, and number of dry‐wet cycles.
