Characterization of a New Heat Dissipation Matric Potential Sensor [PDF]
Sensors, 2013 Soil moisture sensors can help to reduce the amount of water needed for irrigation. In this paper we describe the PlantCare soil moisture sensor as a new type of heat dissipation sensor, its calibration and the correction for temperature changes.

Effect of the Soil Matric Potential on the Germination Capacity of Prosopis chilensis, Quillaja saponaria and Cryptocarya alba from Contrasting Geographical Origins [PDF]
Plants, 2022 As a consequence of the megadrought in Central Chile, it is expected that most of the distribution of woody species will be narrowed in the northern limits because of restrictions imposed by soil matric potential on seed germination.

Effects of matric vs osmotic potential changes on Variovorax beijingensis transcription [PDF]
mSystemsSoil water potential, which regulates microbe-available water, is controlled by osmotic and matric potential, which both become more negative as soils dry.

Measurement of the matric potential of soil water in the rhizosphere [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2013 The availability of soil water, and the ability of plants to extract it, are important variables in plant research. The matric potential has been a useful way to describe water status in a soil-plant system. In soil it is the potential that is derived from the surface tension of water menisci between soil particles.

Lowest matric potential in quartz: Metadynamics evidence [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractThe lowest matric potential is an important soil property characterizing the strength of retaining water molecules and a key parameter in defining a complete soil water retention curve. However, the exact value of the lowest matric potential is still unclear and cannot be measured due to the limitation of current experimental technology.

MOFs as Potential Matrices in Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase Immobilization [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Cyclodextrins (CDs) and their derivatives have attracted significant attention in the pharmaceutical, food, and textile industries, which has led to an increased demand for their production. CD is typically produced by the action of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) on starch.
