Measuring very negative water potentials with polymer tensiometers: principles, performance and applications [PDF]
, 2009 In recent years, a polymer tensiometer (POT) was developed and tested to directly measure matric potentials in dry soils. By extending the measurement range to wilting point (a 20-fold increase compared to conventional, water-filled tensiometers), a ...

, 2001 In the more than 80 references related to banded vegetation patterns, five continents and 12 countries are represented. The early research concerned only the vegetation pattern itself (Clos-Arceduc 1956). Hypotheses regarding ecological functioning were then proposed between 1956 and 1970 and clearly synthesized by (1971) for seven countries.
