Publisher Summary The chapter presents and evaluates current experimental information
and theoretical approaches used to represent chemical transport and transformations in …

Studies in global plant biogeography have almost exclusively analyzed relationships of
abiotic and biotic factors with the distribution and structure of vegetation aboveground. The …

Replacement of deep-rooted, perennial native vegetation with shallow-rooted, annual
agricultural plants has resulted in increased recharge causing shallow saline water tables …

Natural recharge is a vital parameter to be known for ground water budgeting, management
and modelling. Percolation of a portion of the rainfall, through the vadose zone, is the …

Interest in the possible evolutionary convergence has been the impetus for comparative
studies of how organisms function in mediterranean ecosystems (Cody and Mooney 1978) …

The depth distributions of environmental chloride, deuterium and oxygen-18 in the deep
sands (> 20 m) were monitored with a view to estimate average recharge to groundwater …

The structure of vegetation that is below ground truly is the hidden half (Waisel et al. 2002),
hidden from view and too often hidden from biological research. Over the last 30 years, the …

The mechanisms of water flow and recharge to groundwater were investigated in a deep
clayey regolith in southwest Western Australia. A 700 m 2 area was intensively studied for a …

Chloride distributions in 32 deeply weathered profiles up to 39 m deep were used to
investigate the subsurface hydrology typical of the saline landscapes of the south-west of …

The movement of pressure and solute fronts through unsaturated soils in South Australia is
described. Data for gravimetric water content, chloride and matric suction are given for …
