This work reviews the transient two-phase flow in porous media with engineering
applications in Geotechnics. It initially overviews constitutive relationships, conventional …

Hydro-pedotransfer functions (PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil
information to soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process …

Recent studies have shown harmful effects of soil compaction in no-tillage system (NTS), but
there are indications that soil structure improves with time of NTS adoption. We formulated …

Abstract Integrated Crop Livestock Systems (ICLS) are important alternative for
diversification and sustainable food production, while conserving soil. The effects on soil …

Biochar is black carbon produced from pyrolysis of biomass and may be added to soil to
sequester carbon and improve soil water retention. To date models to predict changes in soil …

The objective of this study was to generate pedotransfer functions (PTFs) to estimate water
retention and availability in conventionally-tilled soils and validate some PTFs available in …

Material properties are crucial input parameters for the analysis of heat, air and moisture
transfer phenomena in built environment. However, many round robin tests reveal that the …

Defining a suitable soil tillage option that provides adequate soil physical conditions for
optimum cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) productivity has not been adequately …

Eucalyptus tree stocking can be adjusted to increase, depending on purpose, cellulose,
timber or bioenergy production, but the effect of stocking on ecosystem water balance is still …

Soil structure governs the functions of soil in many ecosystems, including those dominated
by agriculture, such as water and carbon storage, biomass production, and physical stability …
