The current review investigates the hypothesis that dormant soil microorganisms are
relevant for microbial processes and community changes. Dormant soil microorganisms are …

Recent field and laboratory experiments have identified colloid-facilitated transport of
contaminants as an important mechanism of contaminant migration through groundwater …

Humankind depends on the sustainability of soils for its survival and well-being. Threatened
by a rapidly changing world, our soils suffer from degradation and biodiversity loss, making it …

This is the first book entirely on the topic of Migration of Fine Particles in Porous Media.
There are two purposes for the use of this book. First, the book is intended to serve as a …

Properly designed biological filters or infiltration systems have the capacity to significantly
reduce effluent concentrations of pathogenic microorganisms in wastewater. The retention …

Publisher Summary It is noted that colloidal particles can be effectively transported through
subsurface porous media under certain hydrogeochemical conditions. If present in large …

The biological clogging of natural porous media, often in conjunction with physical or
chemical clogging, is encountered under a wide range of conditions. Wastewater disposal …

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 …

Filtration theory does not include the potential influence of pore structure on colloid removal
by straining. Conversely, previous research on straining has not considered the possible …

The transport of colloids in geochemically heterogeneous porous media is investigated. A
model describing the transport and deposition of colloids onto heterogeneously charged …
