An exception is areas with high water tables, where capillary action can cause water from the groundwater to rise through the soil matrix to the surface.

Called the Lasagna Process, simply is the creation of several horizontal permeable zones used to provide treatment through the contaminated soil matrix by adding different admixtures to the electrolytic solution.

Recharge may also occur by saturated flow when water bypasses the soil matrix as it moves to depth in macropores (e.g. root holes, fractures).

Surfactant enhanced recovery increases the mobility and solubility of the contaminants absorbed to the saturated soil matrix or present as dense non-aqueous phase liquid.

There the nodules of iron were washed out of the soil matrix.

AM fungal spores germinate given suitable conditions of the soil matrix, temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, pH, and phosphorus concentration.

Science knows about the chemical composition of the soil that surrounds plant roots versus the soil matrix away from the roots.

Their roots penetrate microscopic scale pores in the soil matrix and can cycle 100 L of water per day per tree.

Suffusion is the migration of soil particles through the soil matrix.

In this technology, a vacuum is applied to the contaminated soil matrix through extraction wells which creates a negative pressure gradient that causes movement of vapors toward these wells.
