Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Moisture Evaluation Figure II shows the release curves for these same three soils, but plotted with moisture content expressed as percents available moisture (held at tensions between 15 atmospheres and atmosphere). If we look at the tensions corresponding to 50 percent available moisture for the three soils, we find that for the clay it is h.5 atmospheres; for the 10mm 2 atmospheres, and for the sand atmos pherae. This information is arranged in Table I for various available moisture percentages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil-Moisture Measurement As has been noted, the gravimetric method is the only commonly used direct means of measuring soil moisture. Simply, it involves taking a soil sample, weighing it, oven-drying it, reweighing, and expressing the original moisture content in percent of oven-dry weight of soil. The first step, securing the sample, is the most troublesome, the degree of difficulty depending on the condition of the soil. Sampling conditions are ideal when soil is just moist enough for easy ingress and egress of the sampling instrument, and where stones, roots, and organic matter are not a problem. Such conditions are seldom encountered. With free water in the soil, moisture can never be sampled accurately: water will drip off as the sample is removed from the ground or compaction may squeeze it out. Rapid sampling is essential to prevent undue losses. Stickiness, often a problem in wet soils, can be alleviated by keeping instruments clean. Where a wet layer overlies a dry one, samples taken from the drier levels may be contaminated. After the upper soil is wetted by a summer rain, for instance, removal of a sample may permit water to run down the hole toward drier soil. The same problem is en countered when samples are taken below a perched water table. Wet instruments add to contamination and should be dried between samplings. When the soil is dry and hard, the principal problem in fine textured soils is to get the sampling instrument in and out again. In coarse-textured soils particularly, samples may slide out of the in strument as it is withdrawn from the soil. Fortunately, after the soil dries in summer, its moisture content may fluctuate so little that frequent sampling may be unnecessary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil-Moisture Measurement With the Fiberglas Instrument Each of these units Operates on the principle that resistance to the passage of an electrical current through the unit will depend on its moisture content. Buried in the soil, the porous material of the unit wets and dries along with the soil around it, and the changes in moisture content affect the electrical conductivity of the unit. Wires lead from the unit to the surface of the ground, where the resistance of the unit is read with a meter. To convert resistance readings to soil moisture values requires calibration of the units in the soil being studied.

This fact emphasizes the need of evaluating soil moisture characteristics of the major agricultural soils of the State.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Moisture Survey of Some Representative Illinois Soil Types Although the energy concept of soil moisture provides agricultural workers with an extremely useful means of understanding and evaluating agronomic and engineering practices, it is not feasible at the present time to measure the soil moisture characteristics for every soil type. The more practical solution is to make such measurements on representa tive soil types and to project the information obtained to closely Related soils. Distinguishing features, such as soil structure and textural class which are amenable to mapping in the field, can be used to place soil types into groups that are nearly alike.

Nevertheless this point of view and method of attacking the problem promise to become very helpful, and are believed to be a distinct advance In the treatment of a subject which has hitherto suffered on account of serio'us experimental difficulties and the lack of a coherent guiding theory.

The authors believe that it may be a useful reference for other researchers. For students, it may illustrate the fact that soil-moisture constants, far from being fixed, vary considerably with the physical condition of the soil. Some explanation is due of the procedure followed in compiling the information, together with some precautions as to its use. The data are from 901 samples of surface soil and 400 samples of subsoil.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methods of Soil Moisture Determination Under Field Conditions The determination of soil moisture under field conditions is of vital importance to the agronomist, forester, hydrologist, and engineer. Those dealing in the plant sciences are primarily interested in the amount of water that is available to plants under various environmental conditions; the hydrologist and engineer are also concerned with soil moisture existing in the range above the field capacity and below the permanent wilting percentage. Continuous soil moisture measurement is necessary for full understanding of the nature of soil moisture move ment, but limited studies of soil moisture are often needed as well.

The most desirable material for this purpose is humus - decayed organic matter. Clay would have a similar effect, but its use is not so practicable and it also introduces some disadvantages. Increase in the stock Of humus and its deep incorporation is therefore effective to increase the water capacity Of light sand soil, and, when coupled with deep ploughing and the use Of compacting implements, the best results are attained. The introduction Of the humus more than Offsets the disadvantage of deep ploughing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
