Effects of shallow groundwater table on soil matric potential and hydraulic characteristics

Transactions of Tianjin University, 2014
Groundwater recharge significantly affects soil moisture redistribution through capillary rise. In this study, the soil matric potential at depths of 5, 10, 20 and 30 cm above the groundwater tables of 10, 30 and 60 cm were measured for 5 d. Soil hydraulic properties were analyzed by using the Philips and de Vries model. Results showed that evaporation

Soil Temperature, Matric Potential, and the Kinetics of Microbial Respiration and Nitrogen Mineralization

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1999
Abstract Soil temperature and matric potential influence the physiological activity of soil microorganisms. Changes in precipitation and temperature can alter microbial activity in soil, rates of organic matter decomposition, and ecosystem C storage.

Root and shoot growth ofProsopis chilensisin response to soil impedance and soil matric potential

Journal of Arid Environments, 1998
Abstract The suitability of Prosopis chilensis for reforestation under conditions of high soil bulk density and high moisture stress was examined in a greenhouse study at the University of California, Riverside. Root growth was greatly reduced at high bulk density (2.1 Mg m −3 ) and high moisture stress (−1.0 MPa).

ERROR ASSOCIATED WITH POINT OBSERVATIONS OF MATRIC POTENTIAL IN HETEROGENEOUS SOIL PROFILES

Transactions of the ASAE, 1991
ABSTRACT An analytical expression for predicting the error which can be expected when using point observations of the matric potential to determine the mean matric potential in a heterogeneous soil profile was derived. Testing was performed through Monte-Carlo analysis using steady state simulations of unsaturated flow in hypothetical heterogeneous ...
