Soil hydraulic properties, such as the water retention curve and saturated hydraulic conductivity, are essential for understanding and predicting water flow in soils. Direct measurement of these ...

Soil hydraulic properties are important for irrigation scheduling and proper land-use planning. Field capacity, permanent wilting point and infiltration rate are the three vital hydraulic properties ...

Water transport in conifers occurs through single-celled tracheids that are connected to one another via intertracheid pit membranes. These membranes have two components: the porous margo, which ...
