Journal ArticleDOI
Macropores and water flow in soils
Keith Beven,Peter F. Germann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of large continuous openings (macropores) on water flow in soils is discussed and the limitations of models that treat macropores and matrix porosity as separate flow domains are stressed.

A review of non-equilibrium water flow and solute transport in soil macropores: principles, controlling factors and consequences for water quality
TL;DR: The potential for non-equilibrium water flow and solute transport at any site depends on the nature of the macropore network, which is determined by the factors of structure formation and degradation as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Rainfall, Vegetation, and Microtopography on Infiltration and Runoff
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the relationship between infiltration, rainfall intensity, and runoff on the basis of sprinkling-infiltrometer measurements and a mathematical model, and found that the apparent infiltration rate depends on hillslope length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of animals on soil
TL;DR: In this article, animals living in the soil body and intimately related to it are defined in terms of arbitrary boundaries rather than of functions of a soil body, and animals living above the soil make contributions to it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil morphology and preferential flow along macropores
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of soil morphology to characterize preferential flow along macropores is discussed, which can be applied to breakthrough curves of soils with identical textures but very different macrostructures.
