The Influence of a Water Absorbing Geocomposite on Soil Water Retention and Soil Matric Potential [PDF]
Climate change induces droughts that are becoming more intensive and more frequent than ever before. Most of the available forecast tools predict a further significant increase in the risk of drought, which indicates the need to prepare solutions to mitigate its effects. Growing water scarcity is now one of the world’s leading challenges.

Recurrent Neural Networks for Soil Moisture Prediction Leveraging Soil Matric Potential Data [PDF]
Soil moisture is a parameter of paramount importance for a variety of applications, such as predicting floods and droughts, monitoring agricultural crop performance, and managing water supply. It can be measured in several ways, such as Volumetric Water Content (VWC) and soil matric potential.

Drought Responses in Three Apple Cultivars Using an Autonomous Sensor-based Irrigation System
Irrigation decision support systems evolving in the domestic temperate tree fruit production industry incorporate measures of soil moisture status, which diverges from classic physiological indicators of edaphic stress.

Determination of the Permanent Wilting Point of Physalis peruviana L.
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 ...

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