Influence of salinity and water content on soil microorganisms
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2015 Salinization is one of the most serious land degradation problems facing world. Salinity results in poor plant growth and low soil microbial activity due to osmotic stress and toxic ions.

Modeling the Unfrozen Water Content of Frozen Soil Based on the Absorption Effects of Clay Surfaces
Water Resources Research, 2020 Unfrozen water content significantly affects the thermal‐hydro‐mechanical characteristics of frozen soil. Currently, theoretical explanations for the presence of unfrozen water include capillary action, surface effects, adsorption forces, and the ...

Local variation in absolute water content of human and rabbit eye lenses measured by Raman microspectroscopy [PDF]
, 1989 Raman spectra were obtained from fresh, fixed and sliced rabbit lenses and from human lens slices. For all lenses and lens slices the ratio R, defined as the Raman intensity at 3390 cm−1 divided by the Raman intensity at 2935 cm−1, was measured at ...
