Preferential water flow denotes the rapid and non-uniform movement of water through discrete pathways in the soil, bypassing the finer pore network of the soil matrix. These pathways include ...

When it comes to soil and water, predictability is important—but difficult. Soil scientists have struggled with accurately measuring water flow through soil for years. Even the smallest soil details ...

This unique system exhibits rapid soil water infiltration, prominent preferential flow development, and extreme spatial heterogeneity in hydrological patterns. Under climate change, the dual ...

The growing use of plastic-based practices in agriculture has led to a significant accumulation of plastic waste in soil. Microplastics (MPs) increasingly threaten soil health and fertility by ...
