A calculation method of available soil water content : application to viticultural terroirs mapping of the Loire valley

OENO One, 2004
Vine water supply is one of the most important elements in the determination of grape composition and wine quality. Water supply conditions are in relation with available soil water content, therefore this one has to be determined when vineyard terroir ...

Application Rate Influences the Soil and Water Conservation Effectiveness of Mulching with Chipped Branches

, 2018
Mulching with chipped, pruned branches (MB) is an effective land management practice to reduce surface runoff and to control soil water erosion. The use of MB has extra advantages such as material availability and a low cost compared with other mulching ...

Assessing Relation of Soil Hydrophobicity and Soil Water Content and Determining Threshold Moisture of Organic Soil Samples

علوم آب و خاک, 2019
Soil water content is the most effective factor associated with the hydrophobic and hydrophilic changes in a soil. Water repellency in soils, is not a permanent feature; it can be reached in the dry season and reduced or eliminated in the wet season It ...

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Soil water regime estimated from the soil water storage monitored in time

Soil and Water Research, 2008
During the vegetation season, the water storage in the soil aeration zone is influenced by meteorological phenomena and by the vegetated cover. If the groundwater table is in contact with the soil profile, its contribution to water storage must be ...
