Adding mesopore networks in microporous materials using the principles of hierarchical
structure design is recognized as a promising route for eliminating their transport limitations …

In arable farming systems, the term 'subsoil'refers to the soil beneath the tilled or formerly
tilled soil horizon whereas the latter one is denoted as 'topsoil'. To date, most agronomic and …

The two major flow mechanisms in the vadose zone are uniform flow and preferential flow.
Both types of flow occur often simultaneously, but have considerably different consequences …

Our environment is essential for not only the quality, but also the persistence of life on Earth.
Three of the most pressing environmental issues facing modern society are climate change …

The dual cause of quantifying and modelling soil structure is a regular irritant to most soil
scientists, whatever their discipline. All know of the importance of placing soil processes in …

The effect of cattle manure and slurry application on percolation and survival of Escherichia
coli O157: H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was investigated for different …

This chapter summarizes the theoretical basis for the determination of diffusion coefficients
in porous media and discusses a few common experimental techniques. The measurement …

Publisher Summary This chapter concentrates on characterization of the actual pore space,
and transport within the pore space, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods …

In this study, we evaluate the feasibility of using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
relaxometry measurements to characterize pore size distribution and hydraulic properties in …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to study the soil water content changes
caused by root water uptake. A 4‐wk‐old Ricinus communis carmencita with a highly …
