A method for estimating maximum static rainfall retention in pebble mulches used for soil moisture conservation [PDF]
, 2016 Mulching of agricultural fields and gardens with pebbles has long been practiced to conserve soil moisture in some semi-arid regions with low precipitation. Rainfall interception by the pebble mulch itself is an important part of the computation of

Comparison Of Selected Pedotransfer Functions For The Determination Of Soil Water Retention Curves
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2015 Soil water retention curves were measured using a sandbox and the pressure plate extractor method on undisturbed soil samples from the Borská Lowland. The basic soil properties (e.g. soil texture, dry bulk density) of the samples were determined.

Effects of Soil Conditioners on The Improvement of Water Retentivity of Masa-soil
Journal of the Japanese Institute of Landscape Architects, 1985 マサ土に2、3の土壤改良剤を混入し、保水性改善に及ぼす効果を検討した。実験にはクスノキ2年生ポット苗を用い、半年間生育後、夏期に灌水を停止し、生育状態および蒸発散量を調査した。シオレ始めるまでの日数とその間の蒸発散量 (pF1.8～3.8の土壤水分量に相当) の間には高い正の相関が認められ、パーライト混入の効果が最も大きかった。シオレ始めてから枯れるまでの日数は、有機質土壤改良剤混入区が長かった。

Fabric and clay activity in soil water retention behaviour
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Modelling the water retention behaviour requires proper understanding of all the processes which affect the amount of water stored in the pore network, depending on the soil state and the soil history.

Experimental Study on Determining Unsaturated Property of Soil [PDF]
, 1980 This paper deals with the experimental study of hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil. In treating unsaturated zone, a great deal more data are required than are required for the saturated zone, but these properties of soils must be known to apply the
