Core Ideas Understanding of preferential flow is improving, stimulated partly by new
technologies. Empirical process understanding has outstripped the capability of models to …

Microplastic contamination of aquatic ecosystems is a high priority research topic, whereas
the issue on terrestrial ecosystems has been widely neglected. At the same time, terrestrial …

A better understanding of preferential water flow is important because water-related crises,
ie, water scarcity and security, are strongly associated with water retention rates in different …

Agricultural watersheds tend to be places of intensive farming activities that permanently
modify their microtopography. The surface characteristics of the soil vary depending on the …

In the last decade, conservation agriculture (CA) has received particular attention from both
governmental and non-governmental organizations. CA aims to achieve sustainable …

Topographic variability is one of the main factors that affect soil properties and crop
production. In this work, we reviewed the concept and significance of various topographic …

Parent material is a crucial co-variate in predicting soil properties using digital soil mapping
(DSM) methods. This spatial information can be obtained using available lithology maps, or …

优先流是土壤养分和水分快速通过土壤剖面的普遍物理现象. 研究农田土壤优先流特征及其影响
因素, 对量化绿洲灌溉深层渗漏量, 提高水肥利用效率以及降低浅层地下水质污染的风险具有 …

This study addresses the relevance of preferential flow for the transport of a non-sorbing
solute in a sandy agricultural field with nitrate-contaminated groundwater. Two multitracer …

The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of compaction on water flow patterns at the
soil profile scale. Control and trafficked plots were established in field trials at two sites. The …
