Analysis of Soil Water Potential and Soil Moisture by Soil Water Potential Analyzer

There is a basic mode potential, osmotic potential, pressure potential, gravitational potential, and temperature potential that make up the soil water potential. . When the soil moisture is not saturated, the water potential depends mainly on the fundamental mode potential. The water potential is expressed in units of pressure in hundred Pascals and can also be expressed in units of energy. The calculation method of water potential differs from the gas phase: the soil moisture status can be represented by the soil moisture content and the water potential, respectively. The relationship between the two can be used as the curve formed by the soil moisture content and the corresponding free energy logarithm PF, ie the soil moisture characteristics. Curve representation. Soil moisture potential meter is generally recommended for the determination of soil water potential, which plays an important role in the study of soil water potential. The measured value of the soil water potential meter is very accurate and reliable.

The measurement of soil water potential instrument for different textures found that the characteristic curves are similar in shape. Under the same suction, the finer the texture, the greater the water content; at the same moisture content, the finer the texture, the greater the suction. For plants, the effectiveness of sand is higher under the same moisture content, but sand absorbs less moisture and the maximum moisture content is lower. Water potential and soil moisture content are not always single-value relationships, and their characteristic curves do not coincide during the dehydration process. The same soil moisture content under suction is higher in the dehydration process than in the water absorption process and is called hysteresis. The two complete characteristic curves are called the main lines of hysteresis. When the soil starts to drain from semi-humid, or when partially dehydrated soil is re-wetted, the suction and soil moisture advance along the middle curve between the two main lines. The hysteresis is related to the texture, the sand is obvious, and the clay is not obvious. The reason can be explained as:

(1) The "ink bottle effect" caused by the geometric inhomogeneity of individual pores. That is, water must pass through the radius during the drainage process.
(2) In the wet process, the curved surface along which the moisture advances along the capillary tube is larger than the contact angle when the dewatering process retreats, that is, the curvature radius is larger and the suction force is smaller.
(3) The air enclosed in the soil mass during wetting reduces the water content of the soil.
(4) Soil swelling and shrinkage and aging during the process of getting wet and drying out, and the gradual dissolution of air in soil water, or the release of dissolved gases all have an impact on the formation of hysteresis.

Underground Gold Detector is for amateur to detect natural gold in some developing country like U.S.A. amd Australia.
