SoilMoisture - Model Soil Samplers - Soil Water Samplers
Soil water samplers, also known as soil solution samplers, are devices used to collect water from the soil for analysis. Such analysis can be performed onsite or by a lab. This water (soil solution) contains nutrients, salts, and other dissolved substances that are available to plants. By sampling this water, researchers and farmers can monitor nutrient availability, fertilizer efficiency, pollution levels, and general soil health.
SoilMoisture / Stevens - Soil Moisture Retention Curve Analysis
Developing soil moisture retention characteristics of a soil or soil moisture release curve is at the core of soil hydrology studies that aim to understand soil water-plant-atmospheric systems, recharge processes, enhance hydrological models used in climate studies, carbon respiration and sequestration processes, and more.
A soil moisture retention curve (also called the soil water retention curve or soil water characteristic curve) is a graph that shows the relationship between the soil water content and the soil water potential (or matric potential). It describes how tightly water is held in the soil and how much water is available to plants or for other applications.
