A ISTRA ("|" Metal hyperaccumulation is a characteristic present in over 500 plant species
and approximately in 0.2% of all angiosperms. Hyperaccumulators are model plants for …

At the watershed scale, soil moisture is the major control for rainfall–runoff response,
especially where saturation excess runoff processes dominate. From the ecological point of …

Soil water uptake by plant roots results from the complex interplay between plant and soil
which modulates and determines transport processes at a range of spatial and temporal …

Groundwater transport models that accurately describe spreading of nonreactive solutes in
an aquifer can poorly predict concentrations of reactive solutes. The dispersive term in the …

Soil water content (SWC) is a soil property that plays a crucial role in a large variety of
biophysical processes, such as seed germination, plant growth, and plant nutrition. SWC …

Publisher Summary This chapter outlines several theoretical models currently prevailing for
multiphase flow and heat transfer in porous media. In particular, a multiphase mixture model …

Gravity‐driven fingers in uniform porous medium are known to have a distinctive
nonmonotonic saturation profile, with saturated (or nearly so) tips and much less saturation …

Five physically based models for predicting liquid saturation from light transmission in 2D
laboratory systems containing translucent porous media were developed and tested …

Soil water extraction by plant roots results from plant and soil transport processes interacting
at different space and time scales. At the single root scale, local soil hydraulic status and …

When CO2 is injected into sedimentary basins, the fate of the buoyant CO2 will be
determined by how it interacts with the underlying geologic heterogeneities. Here we …
