Swell potentials of a suite of soil samples ranging from non-expansive to expansive are characterized using different methods for comparison. The EC results show that the proposed methodology can capture the effect of different factors on swell potential, particularly the type of exchangeable cation....
SWRC adjustment equation and can be used as a tool to verify the quality of the data measured using GAM. Sometimes small differences in the SWRC observed in both methods can have a strong effect in the PSD, which is very sensitive to the shape of the water retention curve (Fig. 3c,e)...
Failure to adequately water will result in poor growth and, ultimately, dying vegetation. There are various systems and methods which claim to promote plant growth, but none which specifically and effectively address maintaining moisture in the plant's growing medium. For instance, the system ...

Estimating the water retention curve from soil properties: comparison of linear, nonlinear and concomitant variable methods The unsaturated soil hydraulic functions involving the soil鈥搘ater retention curve (SWRC) and the hydraulic conductivity provide useful integrated indices...

The results from neutron spectroscopy are in good agreement with traditional methods when assessing the water retention of bentonite and GCLs. Additionally, the primary advantage of neutron scattering is that, contrary to conventional methods, water populations within the clay matrix, such as bulk-...
(conventional tillage) in this rather dry region. In this case, conventional tillage practices did not cause deterioration of the soil. However, deep tillage (subsoiling) methods are reported to result in increasedsoil water rechargeand increased cropgrowth in Solonetzic and Chernozemic clay soils...

[42], who also observed that tillage methods do not significantly affect the WHC of most of the soils analysed and reported changes only in the higher matric potentials [44,46,47], indicating that tillage mainly influences the volume of larger pore sizes, dominantly influencing water infiltration...
this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the different agricultural management adaptive strategies considered in the framework of a regional climate change adaptation roadmap in Navarre (Spain), from the point of view of soil physical indicators associated to soil compaction and water retention....
