Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives

Harry Vereecken, +49 more
- 01 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: Key challenges in modeling soil processes are identified, including the systematic incorporation of heterogeneity and uncertainty, the integration of data and models, and strategies for effective integration of knowledge on physical, chemical, and biological soil processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

An interdisciplinary approach towards improved understanding of soil deformation during compaction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review concepts from different but complementary fields concerned with porous media mechanics and highlight opportunities for synergistic advances in understanding deformation and compaction of arable soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of root-induced compaction on rhizosphere hydraulic properties--X-ray microtomography imaging and numerical simulations.

TL;DR: This study shows that natural root-induced compaction increases contact areas between aggregates, leading to an increase in unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the soils adjacent to the roots, providing insight into the growth, function, and water uptake patterns of roots in natural soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compaction of agricultural and forest subsoils by tracked heavy construction machinery

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the applicability of precompression stress to the field situation in the case of tracked heavy construction machinery and found that no significant increase in precompressive stress occurred in the subsoil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmission of vertical soil stress under agricultural tyres: Comparing measurements with simulations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured and simulated soil stress under defined loads using a semi-analytical model, using vertical stress at 0.1 m depth estimated from tyre characteristics as the upper boundary condition.
