Journal ArticleDOI
Soil structure as an indicator of soil functions: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of observable soil structural attributes to be used in the assessment of soil functions is evaluated and discussed from a methodological point of view and with respect to their relevance to soil functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Image processing of multiphase images obtained via X-ray microtomography: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on multiclass segmentation and detailed descriptions as to why a specific method may fail together with strategies for preventing the failure by applying suitable image enhancement prior to segmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of soil structure based on Minkowski functions
TL;DR: A scale-invariant concept to quantify complex structures based on a limited set of meaningful morphological functions based on d+1 Minkowski functionals as defined for d-dimensional bodies is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond Darcy's law: The role of phase topology and ganglion dynamics for two-fluid flow
TL;DR: The results suggest that the role of fluid connectivity cannot be ignored for multiphase flow and show that fluid topology can undergo substantial changes during flow at constant saturation, which is one of the underlying causes of hysteretic behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The objective of the present article is to review progress achieved to date in the significant research program that has ensued, namely the quantification and modeling of the physical-, (bio)chemical-, and microbiological properties of soils, and the integration of these different perspectives into a unified theory.
