The ability of water to transport and transform soil materials is one of the main drivers of soil
and landscape development. In turn, soil and landscape properties determine how water is …

Dryland degradation and desertification now affect almost a billion people around the world.
Tragically, the biological resources and productivity of millions of acres of land are lost to …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

Preferential flow (PF) is a fundamentally important soil hydrologic process that controls a
variety of soil physical, chemical, and biological functions. However, the lack of theory in this …

The measurement of natural dust emissions from desert landforms is crucial in
environmental hazard assessment and field checking the accuracy of global dust models …

Soils form a continuum across the earth's land surface, that is, the interface of atmospheric,
biological, and geological processes. Soils are more than a veneer of surficial alteration on …

The near-surface saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sat) is an important hydrological
characteristic because it determines surface infiltration rates and the vertical and lateral …

In many areas of the world, the surface of the earth is changing rapidly. This can affect the
partitioning of precipitation into overland flow (OF) and infiltration. OF can reach the stream …

Surface soil hydraulic properties play critical roles in controlling water infiltration,
evaporation, and soil water storage, in‐turn affecting the evolution of soil pore structure in …
