This paper reviews the importance of large continuous openings (macropores) on water flow
in soils. The presence of macropores may lead to spatial concentrations of water flow …

In heterogeneous structured soils, water and transported dissolved substances and
suspended particles and colloids may under certain conditions bypass most of the soil …

An abridged, student-oriented edition of Hillel's earlier published Environmental Soil
Physics, Introduction to Environmental Soil Physics is a more succinct elucidation of the …

Soil structure is defined as “the spatial heterogeneity of the different components or
properties of soil”. Aspects of soil structure which are important for plant development, soil …

A one‐dimensional dual‐porosity model has been developed for the purpose of studying
variably saturated water flow and solute transport in structured soils or fractured rocks. The …

Soil survey activities in many countries have reached a crucial phase. Standard country
wide surveys either have been completed or will be completed within the near future. This …

No part of this publication, apart from bibliographic data and brief quotations embodied in
critical reviews, may be reported, re-recorded or published in any form including print …

Since the pioneering work of CT de Wit in the 1960s, the Wageningen group has built a
tradition in developing and applying crop models. Rather than focusing on a few models …

In the past two or three decades, fractured rock domains have received increasing attention
not only in reservoir engineering and hydrology, but also in connection with geological …

This paper gives a review of our current conceptual understanding of the basic processes of
water flow and chemical transport in the untsaturated (vadose) zone and of various …
