Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to develop two new models that capture much of the physics of flow through a slab of vegetated unsaturated soil. The first is a partial differential equation; the second is an ordinary differential equation derived from a simplified case. Both models are intended to serve as the initial test-bed for studying rate-independent soil-water hysteresis using the new concepts and tools.
