The feedbacks among forest transpiration, soil moisture, and subsurface flowpaths are poorly understood. We investigate how soil moisture is affected by daily transpiration using time-lapse electrical ...

Soils affected by salts can be described in two ways: by salinity classification or by potential crop response (Figure 1). Salinity classifications are based on the total accumulation of salts in the ...

Electrical conductivity measures the ability of water to conduct an electrical current. The higher the concentration of dissolved charged chemicals (also known as salts) in the water, the greater the ...

“In recent years, the use of synthetic culture soil such as rock wool and coconut peat is popular for crops including tomatoes and strawberries,” according to the company. “Since the water retention ...
