Correction of cone index for soil water content differences in a coastal plain soil

Influence of Microsprinkler Irrigation Amount on Water, Soil, and pH Profiles in a Coastal Saline Soil

Microsprinkler irrigation is a potential method to alleviate soil salinization. After conducting a homogeneous, highly saline, clayey, and coastal soil from the Bohai Gulf in northern China in a column experiment, the results show that the depth of the wetting front increased as the water amount applied increased, low-salinity and low-SAR enlarged after irrigation and water redistribution, and ...

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

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 can be said that in terms of moisture, there is a critical region that is defined as the threshold moisture content, where in lower moisture, th...

Response of a New Soil Water Sensor to Variable Soil, Water Content, and Temperature

Thomas (1966) and later developed by Dean et al. (1987), whose work has lead to commercial soil water The success of time domain reflectometry (TDR) has led to the measuring instruments (Evett and Steiner, 1995; Paltidevelopment of other instruments that use the soil dielectric constant as the basis for determining volumetric soil water content. An example neanu and Starr, 1997). Readers are re...

Time Stability of Soil Water Content

The effect of water table fluctuation on soil respiration in a lower coastal plain forested wetland in the southeastern U.S

[1] Anthropogenic and environmental pressures on wetland hydrology may trigger changes in carbon (C) cycling, potentially exposing vast amounts of soil C to rapid decomposition. We measured soil CO2 efflux (Rs) continuously from 2009 to 2010 in a lower coastal plain forested wetland in North Carolina, U.S., to characterize its main environmental drivers. To understand and quantify the spatial v...
