Experimental Study of Soil Water Characteristic Curve for a Clayey Soil Reinforced with Model Geocell for Freezing-Thawing Cycles [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The category of geosynthetics includes geocells as a common subclass. As a low-cost, easilyinstalled solution to soil stabilisation problems, geocells are gaining popularity in the field of geotechnical engineering.

Effect of the Soil Matric Potential on the Germination Capacity of Prosopis chilensis, Quillaja saponaria and Cryptocarya alba from Contrasting Geographical Origins

open access: yesPlants, 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.

Determination of the Permanent Wilting Point of Physalis peruviana L.

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2023
The soil–water potential limit, or permanent wilting point (PWP), of Physalis peruviana L. is not known. Thus, determining the PWP of P. peruviana in different soils is essential to plan crops and manage irrigation in order to optimize the use of water ...

Soil Bulk Density and Matric Potential Regulate Soil CO2 Emissions by Altering Pore Characteristics and Water Content

open access: yesLand, 2023
Soil pore structure and soil water content are critical regulators of microbial activity and associated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This study evaluated the impacts of soil bulk density and matric potential on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through ...

Updated European hydraulic pedotransfer functions with communicated uncertainties in the predicted variables (euptfv2) [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2021
Soil hydraulic properties are often derived indirectly, i.e. computed from easily available soil properties with pedotransfer functions (PTFs), when those are needed for catchment, regional or continental scale applications. When predicted soil hydraulic

Intrinsic Relationship between Matric Potential and Cation Hydration

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, 2016
Core Ideas Exchangeable cations are important in water sorption, hydraulic conductivity, swelling, flocculation–deflocculation, and fertility. Intrinsic relationship exists between matric potential and cation hydration at very low water contents ...

TESTING SOME PEDO-TRANSFER FUNCTIONS (PTFS) IN APULIA REGION

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2009
The knowledge of soil water retention vs. soil water matric potential is used to study irrigation and drainage schedules, soil water storage capacity (plant available water), solute movement, plant growth and water stress.
