Mobilization of wildfire ash by wind and water erosion
Immediately after a wildfire, burnt landscapes are typically black due to the widespread deposition of an ash layer and, with time-since-fire, then loose again this blackness because of the disappearance of this ash layer and/or g ...

What affects the moisture regime of the sand surface of beach and dune?
In the past decade, sand nourishments (or sand supply) to Dutch fore-shores and beaches have been undertaken to provide an additional protection against the sea. One of the protective mechanisms is that sand transports over the be ...

Modeling drought and oxygen stress in clay soils
Potentially clay soils are very fertile. Nevertheless proper cultivation of clay soils is hard as they may change rapidly with respect to too wet and too dry conditions. Also proper simulation of drought- and oxygen stress in clay ...

Pesticide effects in soil biota and soil functions
Pesticides are heavily used in agriculture to reduce crop losses due to pests, weeds and pathogens. Between 1961 and 2011 the global agricultural production more than tripled, largely due to pesticide use. Currently, global pestic ...
