This review discusses the causes and consequences of 'non‐equilibrium'water flow and
solute transport in large structural pores or macropores (root and earthworm channels …

This review provides an overview on various phenomena, hypothesized causes, and
modeling approaches that describe “dynamic nonequilibrium”(DNE) of water flow in soils …

Determining the soil hydraulic properties is a prerequisite to physically model transient water
flow and solute transport in the vadose zone. Estimating these properties by inverse …

Dual‐permeability models can account for the strong influence of soil macropores on
contaminant transport, but their predictive application is hampered by the difficulty in …

Water footprints have been discussed as indicators for the influence of primary products on
water scarcity and water quality. We assessed the impact of New Zealand kiwifruit on the …

The accurate knowledge of hydraulic properties for unsaturated soils is critical in addressing
problems in a variety of disciplines such as hydrology, ecology, environmental sciences, soil …

The extent to which a fast, nonequilibrium, and highly transient pore-scale process such as
macropore flow can be predicted is very often debated, although little research has been …

The MT3DMS groundwater solute transport model was modified to simulate solute transport
in the unsaturated zone by incorporating the unsaturated‐zone flow (UZF1) package …

Preferential water flow and solute transport can have dramatic effects on the leaching of
contaminants to groundwater and surface waters (via subsurface drainage) and is therefore …

Inverse modeling is a powerful technique for identifying the hydraulic properties of
unsaturated porous media. However, the selection of an appropriate parameterization of the …
