This paper examines and assesses predictive methods for the saturated hydraulic
conductivity of soils. The soil definition is that of engineering. It is not that of soil science and …

Quantitative assessment of soil functions requires the characterization of soil capability and
condition. Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy has been suggested as a viable alternative to the …

The freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is endangered and of conservation
importance. We used its survival/mortality during the critical post‐parasitic phase as a …

Soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is the most fundamental and important soil property
in unsaturated soil mechanics. It has been used for analyzing slope stability due to the …

Many models are available to fit the curve of a grain size distribution, GSD. The article lists
61 models and 33 comparative studies of models. Examples explain how to extract …

The fractal characteristics of soil grain-size in thick loess profile are closely related to its
physical and hydrological characteristics. To reveal the relationship between loess grain …

Coarse-grained soil, such as aggregate and coarse sand, is commonly selected to construct
a capillary barrier system (CBS). The barrier effect in the CBS is mainly dependent on the …

processes in multi-layered coarse soils. Can. J. Soil Sci. 91: 169–183. Infiltration and …

Soils with a bimodal grain-size distribution (gap-graded soils) can be associated with
unimodal or bimodal soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs). Many equations have been …

Commonly used hydraulic models that describe the water retention and transport properties
of variably saturated soils mainly account for the capillary component of matric potential but …
