Comparison of the physical properties of soils belonging to different reference soil groups
Soil and Water Research, 2021 Soil properties can be influenced by long-term agricultural management practices as described in pedological literature. In this study, selected physical properties (particle density and bulk density, total porosity, maximum capillary water capacity ...

RETENTION CURVES AND AVAILABLE WATER CAPACITY IN LATOSOLS [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2018 Water stored in the soil between field capacity and the permanent wilting point, is known as the available water capacity. Its availability to be effectively used by plants depends on the type of soil and its water retention characteristics.

SOIL HYDRAULIC PROPERTIES OF A CHROMIC LUVISOL IN KATUMANI, KENYA
Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2022 Background: Soil hydraulic parameters in non-saturated conditions are crucial for explaining soil water dynamics in the field. It is therefore necessary to understand the link between soil water potential and hydraulic conductivity in the soil in order ...

Plant-available soil water capacity: estimation methods and implications
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2014 The plant-available water capacity of the soil is defined as the water content between field capacity and wilting point, and has wide practical application in planning the land use.
