Measurement of the matric potential of soil water in the rhizosphere [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Zeta Potential of Food Matrices

Food Engineering Reviews, 2018
Food matrices contain electrically charged particles, which interact with each other and with the media and are produced via several interface processes and mechanisms. The understanding of electric charge interactions is complex and essential towards the development of food systems since they can determine the type of particle-particle and particle ...

Lowest matric potential in quartz: Metadynamics evidence [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Control of matric water potential by temperature differential

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 1987
A method for controlling relative humidity based on temperature differentials, rather than on salt solutions, is described. This method has the following advantages: (1) it does not exhibit the anomalous CO2 solution effects that we have found to occur with salt solutions; (2) humidity is continuously adjustable without sample removal; (3 ...

The Meaning of Matric Potential

Journal of Experimental Botany, 1980
The commonly used equation, y — P — n + z, which describes the partitioning of plant water potential, y, into components of hydrostatic pressure, P, osmotic pressure, n, and matric potential, r, is misleading. The term r, which is supposed to show the influence of a solid phase on y, is zero if a consistent definition of pressure is used in the ...
