Evaluates methods for measuring soil moisture and describes the equipment used.

Excerpt from Some Field, Laboratory, and Office Procedures for Soil-Moisture Measurement: July 1954 One of the important phases of the soil-moisture studies Of the Vicksburg Infiltration Project has been the determination of bulk density. Defined as the ratio of the weight Of oven-dry soil to the volume it occupied in the field, bulk density is expressed in grams per cubic centi meter. Its use is principally for converting moisture content from percent by weight to depth or area-inches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Methods of Soil Moisture Determination Under Field Conditions The determination of soil moisture under field conditions is of vital importance to the agronomist, forester, hydrologist, and engineer. Those dealing in the plant sciences are primarily interested in the amount of water that is available to plants under various environmental conditions; the hydrologist and engineer are also concerned with soil moisture existing in the range above the field capacity and below the permanent wilting percentage. Continuous soil moisture measurement is necessary for full understanding of the nature of soil moisture move ment, but limited studies of soil moisture are often needed as well.

Excerpt from Abstracts of Recent Published Material on Soil and Water Conservation, Vol. 17 The purpose of this report is to acquaint field workers in soil and water conserva tion research with the neutron method for measuring soil moisture. This is attempted here in simple terms, details of physical or mathematical nature being omitted. Furthermore, this report gives recommended equipment needs and suggestions for its use. Finally, a discussion of the advantages and limitations of the method is presented as well as pertinent information on precision and calibration.
