The formation and propagation of surface desiccation cracks in vegetated infrastructures
involve coupled factors including unsaturated soil mechanics, atmospheric conditions and …

With the increased use of natural gas, safety and environmental concerns from underground
leaking natural gas pipelines are becoming more widespread. What is not well understood …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the largest source of atmospheric CO2, and an accurate
understanding of the relationship between near-surface winds, CO2 release from the soil …

The impacts of five factors (wind speed, crack width, crack distance, crack depth and crack
orientation (compared to wind direction)), on evaporation from cracked soil under moist soil …

Forest soil CO2 flux measurements are important for studying global climate change.
Current monitoring methods are based on closed gas chambers, which block the wind …

We investigate the influence of near‐surface wind conditions on subsurface gas transport
and on soil‐atmosphere gas exchange for gases of different density. Results of a sand tank …

This paper presents the numerical analysis of an experimental soil drying test carried on an
initially slurry soil specimen with controlled temperature and relative humidity in a laboratory …

In high permeability soils, gas flux through the Earth–atmosphere interface can be
significantly greater than expected from only diffusion. One mechanism that can contribute to …

Local (cm) scale water loss distribution and evaporation in soil with flat and furrowed
surfaces as a function of near‐surface wind speed and wind direction was investigated. Four …

When a dual‐probe heat pulse (DPHP) sensor is installed in soil near the soil–atmosphere
interface, the basic assumptions of the infinite line heat source (ILS) model and its …
