Understanding and predicting colloid transport and retention in water‐saturated porous
media is important for the protection of human and ecological health. Early applications of …

Preferential flow (PF) in soil has both environmental and human health implications since it
favours contaminant transport to groundwater without interaction with the chemically and …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

An understanding of the transport and survival of microbial pathogens (pathogens hereafter)
in agricultural settings is needed to assess the risk of pathogen contamination to water and …

Our ability to accurately simulate the transport and retention of colloids in the vadose zone is
currently limited by our lack of basic understanding of colloid retention processes that occur …

Biofilters, designed to facilitate the infiltration of stormwater into soil, are generally ineffective
in removing bacteria from stormwater, thereby causing pollution of groundwater and …

Considerable research suggests that colloid deposition in porous media is frequently not
consistent with filtration theory predictions under unfavorable attachment conditions …

Understanding and quantification of phosphorus (P) fluxes are key requirements for
predictions of future forest ecosystems changes as well as for transferring lessons learned …

Until some two decades ago, it was believed that only the soil liquid and gaseous phases
were mobile and could facilitate the transport of chemicals and nutrients through the vadose …

This paper attempts to introduce the work described in this special section on colloid
transport within a more general perspective of the evolution of our understanding of the …
