Abstract
Functional traits of soil structure, irrespective of scale, rely on the connectivity, tortuosity, and the heterogeneity of pore spaces in 3D (Young et al., 2001). This is often neglected using conventional approaches of investigating soil structure morphologies. Data concerning 3D architectures of pore spaces are invaluable when studying structural genesis, gas and water transport, habitat functions, water uptake, etc. Visualizing and quantifying the complex geometry of the pore network and soil structure on various scales is promising to enhance our understanding of the multiple interacting physical, biological, and bio-geochemical processes taking place in soil pore spaces.
