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 ...

Measuring and Modeling Stable Isotopes of Mobile and Bulk Soil Water
, 2018 Bulk soil water isotopes have an evaporation signal, but mobile water isotopes do not. These differences are time variant and linked to the volume and age of the mobile water.

What Is the Range of Soil Water Density? Critical Reviews With a Unified Model
Reviews of Geophysics, 2018 The soil water density is defined as the ratio of soil water mass to soil water volume. It is a cornerstone in defining thermodynamic states of either saturated or unsaturated soils for quantifying water storage and movement in the subsurface and for ...

Toxic and heavy metals contamination assessment in soil and water to evaluate human health risk
Scientific Reports, 2021 Due to urbanization and industrialization, there has been an increase in solid waste generation and has become a global concern and leakage of leachate from landfills contaminate the soil and groundwater and hence can have a severe impact on human health.

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1976 Water has been called ubiquitous, which may be a small exaggeration, but it is no exaggeration to say that it is intimately associated with soil. In the never‐ending hydrologic cycle, rain falls upon the soil, and whether the soil is shielded by vegetation or otherwise protected is much of what soil and water conservation is all about.The story of soil

, 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.

Variation in Tree Species Ability to Capture and Retain Airborne Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
Scientific Reports, 2017 Human health risks caused by PM2.5 raise awareness to the role of trees as bio-filters of urban air pollution, but not all species are equally capable of filtering the air. The objectives of this current study were: (1) to determine the foliar traits for

Water, Soil, and Plants Interactions in a Threatened Environment
Water, 2021 The unprecedented pressure posed by a growing population on water resources generates a significant shortage between the available resources and water demand, which together with water scarcity, floods, and droughts, can affect the world population and ...
