Modeling Soil–Plant Dynamics: Assessing Simulation Accuracy by Comparison with Spatially Distributed Crop Yield Measurements

Sara Bonetti

Coupling hydrological models with plant physiology is crucial to capture the feedback mechanisms occurring within the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. However, the ability of such models to describe the spatial variability of plant responses to different e ...

Collapse-upon-wetting behaviour of a volcanic soil

Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci

Experimental results of volumetric response of a volcanic soil were collected in standard oedometric tests, with the aim to evaluate the volumetric response of this soil when subjected to loading and wetting paths. Microstructural features of reconstituted ...
