- Plant Growth‐Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Reduce Evaporation and Increase Soil Water Retention (2017, background): “This can be due to clogging of small pores by EPS or EPS filaments connecting large pores into smaller spaces or formation of porous network, as shown in Figures 6c and 6d and as reported in Volk et al. (2016). The newly created smaller pore spaces can lead to additional water retention due to incre”
- A new capillary and thin film flow model for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated porous media (2010, background): “Although the specific surface area of the polydisperse sample can be determined experimentally, it can also be estimated from water retention data at low values of matric head [ Tuller and Or, 2005 ].”
- The physics of wind-blown loess: Implications for grain size proxy interpretations in Quaternary paleoclimate studies (2016, background): “…by liquid-bridge bonding dominate at high soil moisture conditions, these forces are negligible at low humidity conditions (ψm b−10MPa; Tuller and Or, 2005), and thus adhesion forces are substantial for soils with either a high clay content and/or a low soil moisture content (Cornelis and…”
- Generalized Soil Water Retention Equation for Adsorption and Capillarity (2016, methodology): “Recently, several theories have been formulated for the SWRC and hydraulic conductivity function due to adsorption within this regime (e.g., Tuller and Or 2005; LeBeau and Konrad 2010; Revil and Lu 2013).”
- Predicting the soil moisture retention curve, from soil particle size distribution and bulk density data using a packing density scaling factor (2014, methodology): “Tuller and Or (2005) suggested that the introduction ofθr as a fitting parameter in most SMC models often makes the physical representation of key pro- cesses in the dry soils vague.”
