Review and comparison of models for describing non-equilibrium and preferential flow and transport in the vadose zone
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing approaches for modeling preferential and non-equilibrium flow and transport in the vadose zone is presented, which range from relatively simplistic models to more complex physically based dual-porosity, dual-permeability, and multi-region type models.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple empirical model of root water uptake
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical sink function describing water extraction by roots is proposed, where water uptake is given as a function both of the potential transpiration rate and a weighted stress index which accounts for the effects of the vertical distributions of roots and soil water content.
Journal ArticleDOI
MACRO—DB: a decision-support tool for assessing pesticide fate and mobility in soils
TL;DR: In this article, a decision support tool (MACRO) for predicting pesticide fate and mobility in soils is described, which consists of soil, pesticide, climate and crop databases linked to parameter estimation routines and a simulation model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of subsoil compaction on hydraulic properties and preferential flow in a Swedish clay soil
M. Mossadeghi-Björklund,Johan Arvidsson,Thomas Keller,John Koestel,Mathieu Lamandé,Mats Larsbo,Nick Jarvis +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a randomized block design trial at two sites on a well-structured clay soil in central Sweden was established, where two levels of compaction were created at both sites, in the following referred to as trafficked and control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent subsoil compaction and its effects on preferential flow patterns in a loamy till soil
Ararso Etana,Mats Larsbo,Thomas Keller,Johan Arvidsson,Per Schjønning,Johannes Forkman,Nick Jarvis +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the persistence of subsoil compaction was investigated in a field experiment in southern Sweden using a 6-row sugar beet harvester with a wheel load of c. 10.4 mg.
