abstract = {Don Kirkham was instrumental in transforming soil physics
into a modern scientific discipline by developing theories
based on verifiable hypotheses, creating methods to test the
hypotheses, and applying the theories to problems of
importance to society. We, the recipients of the Don and
Betty Kirkham Award in Soil Physics, show how this legacy
continues to affect soil physics. We describe eight
longstanding or emerging research areas in soil physics that
contain key unsolved problems. All are field oriented, with
applications to a number of important issues in agriculture
and the environment. The first three problems deal with the
topic of characterization of field-scale soil water
properties, within which we describe progress on scaling,
effective hydraulic properties, and the relationship between
soil structure and function. We then move to the description
of unstable flow and characterizing water repellency, and
finish with discussions on the effect of plants on transport
processes, characterizing soil microbial diversity, and the
importance of soil ecological infrastructure in providing
ecosystem services. The challenges we discuss reflect
inherent gaps between the complexity of the soil environment
and its biogeochemical function, and the limited measurement
and analytical tools at our disposal. Improving our
predictive capabilities at relevant spatial and temporal
scales will be necessary to address some of the
long-standing problems within agriculture and the soil
environment.},
