The conductivity and diffusivity at low water contents were several times higher, increased much less with water content, and eventually decreased when the soil became saturated and swelled, compared to non-swelling soils. The heat capacity per unit volume increased more slowly with water content because of the swelling. The behaviour could be predicted by 3 theoretical models, which are described.
