A Compact Weighing Lysimeter to Estimate the Water Infiltration Rate in Agricultural Soils
Agronomy, 2021 Infiltration estimation is made by tests such as concentric cylinders, which are prone to errors, such as the lateral movement under the ring. Several possibilities have been developed over the last decades to compensate these errors, which are based on ...

Technical note: A weighing forest floor grid lysimeter [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesThe forest floor (FF) is dominated by plant litter and its decomposition products, whereby it differs significantly from mineral soil. Because of its wider range of pore sizes and overall high porosity, it has a large capacity to retain water and thus ...
