Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous
media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the …

Trophic interactions play a vital role in soil functioning and are increasingly considered as
important drivers of the soil microbiome and biogeochemical cycles. In the last decade …

Soil organic carbon harbors three times as much carbon as Earth's atmosphere, and its
decomposition is a potentially large climate change feedback and major source of …

The concept of tortuosity is used to characterize the structure of porous media, to estimate
their electrical and hydraulic conductivity, and to study the travel time and length for tracer …

Soil moisture strongly affects the dynamics of soil organic matter and is an important
environmental variable in all models predicting changes in soil carbon stocks from site to …

Soil heterotrophic respiration and nutrient mineralization are strongly affected by
environmental conditions, in particular by moisture fluctuations triggered by rainfall events …

One of the major conundrums in oceanography for the past 20 y has been that, although the
total flux of dissolved organic carbon (OC; DOC) discharged annually to the global ocean …

One of the most methodical treatments of electromagnetic wave propagation, radiation, and
scattering—including new applications and ideas Presented in two parts, this book takes an …

Microorganisms are able to utilize nitrogen (N) from a wide range of organic and mineral
compounds. In this paper, we review the current knowledge about the regulation of the …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …
