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

Journal 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.

The Role of Matric Potential, Solid Interfacial Chemistry, and Wettability on Isotopic Equilibrium Fractionation

Vadose Zone Journal, 2019
Soil water stable isotopes are widely used for geo- and ecohydrological applications. However, the signature of the soil water isotopic composition in the environment depends on various factors.

Polymer tensiometers with ceramic cones: direct observations of matric pressures in drying soils [PDF]

, 2010
Measuring soil water potentials is crucial to characterize vadose zone processes. Conventional tensiometers only measure until approximately −0.09 MPa, and indirect methods may suffer from the non-uniqueness in the relationship between matric potential ...

Estimation of soil water characteristic curve parameters in different models in light soils [PDF]

رویکردهای نوین در مهندسی آب و محیط زیست
In addition to soil water content, soil matric potential is also important for plant growth. Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) or soil moisture characteristic curve describes soil water content and soil matric potential relationship.

Effect of the soil matric potential on the germination capacity of prosopis chilensis, quillaja saponaria and cryptocarya alba from contrasting geographical origins [PDF]

, 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.
