Wind erosion: saltation, dust emission and deposition
Wind detaches and moves soil particles when friction velocity exceeds a threshold set by particle size, moisture, aggregates and cover, removing fine nutrient-…

Soil thermal regime and heat flowHow net radiation becomes heat that conducts through soil, with water content, snow and depth controlling temperature, and how soil temperature in turn sets mi…

Soil evaporation stages and vapour transportEvaporation from bare or lightly covered soil runs through an energy-limited wet stage, a liquid-supply-limited falling-rate stage and a vapour-diffusion stage…

Shrink-swell cycles and crack dynamics in clay soilsIn soils rich in smectite, repeated wetting and drying swells and shrinks the soil, opening and closing cracks that route water, shear the profile into slicken…

Soil compaction: stress, density, root limitation and recoveryWheel and hoof loads press soil into a denser state, closing macropores, raising strength and cutting infiltration and aeration, with effects that persist for…

Globally transpiration is about 61% of land evapotranspiration, so soil and canopy evaporation supply the other 39%👍1 👎0
Net radiation splits into latent, sensible and ground heat flux; for grass reference surfaces ground heat flux is about…👍1 👎0
The daily temperature wave damps with depth: the amplitude falls by a factor e at d = sqrt(2D/omega), about 0.12 m (dai…👍1 👎0
