Abstract: The flow and thermal driven processes are crucial for the soil water dynamics in the vadose zone in arid regions. The understanding of the soil moisture and heat distribution is important for assessing the fate and transport ...

Abstract: The occurrence of macropore flow (MF) has a significant effect on infiltration in the vadose zone. Three heterogeneous column systems were set up in this study to quantify the MF depressional process in unsaturated conditions ...

Abstract: Data assimilation is a useful tool in hydrologic and agricultural application studies because of its ability to produce predicted results with high accuracy. However, different data-assimilation methods have different ...
