The hydrological and geochemical interactions between clay minerals and organic matter in soils directly influence the reaction, behavior, and mobility of heavy metals in soils. Geochemical and Hydrological Reactivity of Heavy Metals in Soils is one of few books that comprehensi…
Useful for soil and groundwater scientists, ecologists, and government regulators, this book discusses new techniques used to analyze surface reactions governed by physical, chemical, and biological processes. It covers the reaction mechanisms of the component molecules, linkage…
This is a collection of articles from the Asian conference UNSAT-ASIA 2000, covering topics such as: historical developments; numerical modelling; suction measurement techniques; permeability and flow; mass transport; and engineering applications.
A major uncertainty in soil carbon studies is how inputs of fresh plant-derived carbon affect the turnover of existing soil organic matter (SOM) by so-called priming effects. Priming may occur directly as a result of nutrient mining by existing microbial communities, or indirect…
Combining a quantitative, mathematical analysis of the mechanisms of soil-water interactions with a physicochemical description of such processes, Soil-Water Interactions, Second Edition offers a clear and systematic overview of various soil-water phenomena and their application…
Emphasizing pioneering achievements, this work offers a clear and systematic description of various soil-water phenomena and their applications to soil problems such as water retention and the flux of water in soils and clays. This second edition contains material on the physica…
Studies on surface hydrology can generally be classified into two categories, observation for different components of surface water, and modeling their dynamic movements. This study only focuses on observation part of surface water components: snow cover, soil moisture, and prec…
Topography, vegetation, nutrient dynamics, soil features and hydroclimatic forcing are inherently coupled, with feedbacks occurring over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. Vegetation growth may be limited by soil moisture, nutrient or solar radiation availability, and …
Three empirical salinity models (designated as Models R1, R2, and MF) were examined for real time soil moisture estimation and one-time calibration of electromagnetic induction sensors using apparent soil electrical conductivity. Field data were collected at two sites representi…
