Predicting the gas diffusion coefficient in repacked soil water‐induced linear reduction model

P Moldrup, T Olesen, J Gamst… - Soil Science Society …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Investigations of gas transport and fate processes in packed soil systems require knowledge

Review and evaluation of root respiration and of natural and agricultural processes of soil aeration

I Ben-Noah, SP Friedman - Vadose Zone Journal, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Core Ideas Movement of O2 in the soil is mainly diffusive. Respiration consists of plant root
and microbial O2 uptake, roughly of the same magnitude. Reduced O2 and elevated CO2 …

Predicting the gas diffusion coefficient in undisturbed soil from soil water characteristics

P Moldrup, T Olesen, P Schjønning… - Soil Science Society …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
The gas diffusion coefficient in soil (DP), and its dependency on soil physical characteristics,
governs the diffusive transport of oxygen, greenhouse gases, fumigants, and volatile organic …

Moisture can be the dominant environmental parameter governing cadaver decomposition in soil

DO Carter, D Yellowlees, M Tibbett - Forensic science international, 2010 - Elsevier
Forensic taphonomy involves the use of decomposition to estimate postmortem interval
