Development in research on the fractal theory of soil water and solute transport mechanisms

The Soil water and the solute transport are a hotspot in the research of the soil-water environment,and it is the problem that has no better solutions.It is a new ideal and method that the soil water and the solute are studied with the fractal theory to settle the complex problems in this area.Based on the expounding in briefly that soil structure is measured with fractal theory,a series of results in the soil water and the solute transport mechanisms with the fractal theory are reviewed particularly,including its basic parameters the non-Fick phenomenon of the soil solute transport and the scale effect of dispersion coefficient.It is hoped that the Fractal theory will be used in the future to research the soil water and the solute transport process.
