Geotechnical engineering deals with soils and rocks and their use in engineering
constructions. By their nature, soils and rocks exhibit complex behaviours and a high level of …

Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

This review addresses the applicability of visible (Vis), near-infrared (NIR), and mid-infrared
(MIR) reflectance spectroscopy for the prediction of soil properties. We address (1) the …

Soil moisture strongly affects the dynamics of soil organic matter and is an important
environmental variable in all models predicting changes in soil carbon stocks from site to …

Interpreting Soil Test Results is a practical reference enabling soil scientists, environmental
scientists, environmental engineers, land holders and others involved in land management …

Understanding groundwater recharge is essential for successful management of water
resources and modeling fluid and contaminant transport within the subsurface. This book …

Soil hydraulic properties are necessary for many studies of water and solute transport but
often cannot be measured because of practical and/or financial constraints. We describe a …

A review has been undertaken into how soil organic matter (SOM) affects a range of soil
properties that are important for the productive capacity of soils. The potential effect of …

Water retention and hydraulic conductivity are crucial input parameters in any modelling
study on water flow and solute transport in soils. Due to inherent temporal and spatial …

Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) have become a 'white-hot'topic in the area of soil science and
environmental research. Most current PTF research focuses only on the development of new …
