Few studies have considered the effect of organic amendments on soil microbial activity and
its contributions to hydraulic conductivity under field conditions in semiarid region soils with …

Soil properties are greatly influenced by intrinsic factors of soil formation as well as extrinsic
factors associated with land use and management and vary both in time and space. Intrinsic …

The importance of soil macropores as preferential pathways for water, air, and chemical
movement in different soils has long been recognized. However, quantification of complex …

Due to inadequate data support, existing algorithms used to estimate soil hydraulic
conductivity, K, in (eco) hydrological models ignore the effects of key site factors such as …

Soil hydraulic properties are subject to temporal changes as a response to both tillage and
natural impact factors. As the temporal and spatial variability might exceed cultivation …

A full understanding of hydrologic response to human impact requires assessment of land-
use impacts on key soil physical properties such as saturated hydraulic conductivity, bulk …

Soil aggregation is an important physical property that influences the physico-chemical and
biological properties of soil. Soil disturbances such as tillage can have a significant effect on …

Soil hydraulic properties impact the hydrologic cycle. Soil hydraulic conductivity (K) and the
pore size distribution parameter, Gardner α, are important parameters for understanding …

Sustainable agriculture and eco-environment conservation face constant threats from soil
erosion in mountainous regions. This study aimed to predict soil loss in the mountainous …

Urban landscapes are increasingly recognized as providing important ecosystem services
(ES) to their occupants. Yet, urban ES assessments often ignore the complex spatial …
