Vadose Zone Journal is a unique platform for interdisciplinary research on the vadose zone, a critical part of the Earth's surface extending from the soil's upper layer to the groundwater. This international, peer-reviewed journal publishes diverse content, including original research, reviews, and special sections, spanning numerous disciplines.

The vadose zone (from the Latin word for "shallow"), also termed the unsaturated zone, is the part of Earth between the land surface and the top of the phreatic zone, the position at which the groundwater (the water in the soil's pores) is at atmospheric pressure. Hence, the vadose zone extends from the top of the ground surface to the water table.

Full-text available for all issues until May 2017. New issues only available as Open Access directly from Vadose Zone.

Vadose-zone microbial ecology is the study of the microbes residing in the vadose zone, their interactions with each other, and their interactions with their surrounding environment.

2024年5月1日 · Infiltration recharge in the vadose zone is a key step in the Earth's water cycle and plays an extremely important role in the sustainable development of groundwater resources, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.

The Vadose Zone Research Group at Texas A&M carries out research on a wide spectrum of topics related to the unsaturated zone like (but not restricted to) numerical modeling of hydrological processes, understanding soil bio-geo-chemistry, understanding scaling issues in hydrology, and, field- scale observations and measurements. What we do?

vadose zone, region of aeration above the water table. This zone also includes the capillary fringe above the water table, the height of which will vary according to the grain size of the sediments.

2014年3月3日 · We describe one approach of teaching vadose zone (VZ) processes to non-vadose zone (NVZ) scholars interested in the water and climate change nexus.

VADOSE ZONE JOURNAL 是一个独特的出版渠道，用于跨学科研究和评估包气带，这是关键带的一部分，包括地球的关键生活表面直至地下水。 它是一个经过同行评审的国际期刊，出版评论、原创研究和跨学科的特殊栏目。 VADOSE ZONE JOURNAL 报道了来自学科和多学科调查的基础和应用研究，包括评估和政策分析，对土壤表面和地下水位之间的大部分不饱和带进行了评估。 目标是传播信息，以促进基于科学的决策和对渗流区的可持续管理。

土壤水主要消耗在植物吸收利用和地面蒸发上，其水量受气象因素影响极为显著，并随季节性气候变化而变化。 上层滞水水量不稳定，但在干旱区，当地下水埋藏较深时，可利用上层滞水灌溉和饮用。 包气带的水质已愈来愈受到人类生活与生产的强烈影响。 因而研究包气带水盐的形成及其运动规律对阐明饱水带的形成有重要意义。 包气带上界面为地面，它直接与大气接触，既是流域降雨的承受面，又是土壤水的蒸发面．下界面为地下水面。 降雨下渗到包气带后．一部分被土壤 …
