Forward and inverse modeling of water flow in unsaturated soils with discontinuous hydraulic conductivities using physics-informed neural networks with domain decomposition
Abstract. Modeling water flow in unsaturated soils is vital for describing various hydrological and ecological phenomena. Soil water dynamics is described by well-established physical laws (Richardson...

Impact of biochar amendments on soil water and plant uptake dynamics under different cropping systems
A soil hydrological model was used to evaluate the midterm (5-year) effects of three biochar types, derived from local agriculture waste using a mobile pyrolyzer, on soil water and plant uptake dyna...

The effects of different biochar‐dairy manure co‐composts on soil moisture and nutrients retention, greenhouse gas emissions, and tomato productivity: Observations from a soil column experiment
Effects of different biochar manure co-composts on soil ecosystem services and tomato productivity were evaluated. A 75% deficit irrigation rate was also imposed on soil treatments. Organic amendmen...

Biochar impacts on soil moisture retention and respiration in a coarse‐textured soil under dry conditions
Seven biochar derived from local orchard wasted materials were assessed in this study. Almond shell biochar enhanced moisture retention potential of loamy-sand soil. Biochar amended soil maintained .....
