After reading this article you will learn about the relationship between thermal conductivity and diffusivity. In thermal conductivity and diffusivity the movement of heat in the soil will be considered. Because it is found that much of the solar radiation is dissipated into the atmosphere. Part of it, however, moves slowly through the soil profile by conduction process. Once the [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the relationship between percentage base saturation of soil and its ph. The determination of soil pH is comparatively more easier than that of determining base saturation. If pH is determined the base saturation can then be estimated approximately. A low percentage base saturation means acidity, whereas a percentage base saturation approaching 100 [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the relationship between soil and moisture. 1. Field Capacity: Assume that water is applied to the surface of a soil. With the downward movement of water all macro and micro pores are filed up. The soil is said to be saturated with respect to water and is at maximum water-holding capacity or [...]
