Hydropedology is an intertwined branch of soil science and hydrology that encompasses
multiscale basic and applied research of interactive pedological and hydrological processes …

Nine chapters deal successively with the following topics: general considerations on soil,
including soil genesis, classification, and mapping; the soil pore system; soil water and …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a non-Darcian flow of water in soil–laminar
region. A hypothesis frequently used for the explanation of the non-Darcian flow in the …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS We investigated the influence of baseline characteristics of
patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on prognosis and developed a multivariate …

Soil structure is one of the main attributes of soil quality. It influences the soil pore system
and through it all parameters of equations describing the transport processes in soil. Soil …

Soil water characteristic curves determined on undisturbed soil samples in the laboratory
were used for the calculation of the unsaturated conductivity function K (h). This computed K …

Transport of water, of dissolved and non-dissolved chemicals, of gas, the rooting of plants
and the conditions for all soil biota are influenced by the soil porous system and by the soil …

We analyzed six different infiltration equations—those of Kostiakov (1932), Horton (1940),
Mezencev (1948), Green and Ampt (1911), Philip (19576) and Par-lange et al.(1985)—for …

Conclusions The 2 examples which are worldwide applied proof that the often requested
simplification of methods with respect to time and sensitivity can result in a severe …

The raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis, is increasingly recognized as a cause of
serious or fatal larva migrans disease in humans and animals. We assessed the potential for …
