Abstract: Abstract Faunal behavior in dryland ecosystems may physically influence swelling soil hydrologic and pedologic processes due to its contributions to soil crack formation. In order to provide a physical link between this faunal activity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.2136/sssaj2018.01.0007
Abstract: A critical gap in hydrology knowledge is predicting the partition of runoff and infiltration during rainfall events in shrink-swell soils with desiccation cracks. Knowledge of surface cracking and crack volume is needed, but field measurements… read more here.
