In the close-to-surface layer and root-zone layer, vapor flux is the dominant flux controlling these processes - process which, in turn, influence the local climate pattern and the local ecosystem. The work reported in this thesis attempts to understand how the soil airflow affects the vapor transport during evaporation processes, by using a two-phase heat and mass transfer model. The necessity of including the airflow mechanism in land surface process studies is discussed and highlighted.Springer theses.Soil dynamicsSoil dynamics.639.9Zeng Yijian1064255MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437937703321Coupled Dynamics in Soil2537179UNINA
