Book Description
Excerpt from A Recording Soil Moisture Tensiometer The simple - design recorder can be built with readily available materials in a shop equipped with wood and metal working equipment by anyone familiar with these tools. It is composed of four basic sys tems: (l) the porous cup and re lated tubing; (2) the manometer, scale, and mercury storage cup; (3) the float-and-lever system and pen; and (4) the chart drum and drive. These systems are mounted on a plywood and plastic base. The porous cup (fig. 2) is placed in the soil at the desired depth, and the transfer of water through the cup changes the water volume in the manometer system. Two small nylon tubes extend to the soil surface and connect the porous cup to a flushing tube and the recorder. The connecting tubing is cut to lengths suitable to the particular installation. The flushing tube is used primarily to fill the porous cup and balance the manometer system. The recorder tube is sealed to the top of the glass manometer at the recorder.

Encyclopedia of Agrophysics
Author: Jan GlińskiPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9048135842
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1075
Book Description
This Encyclopedia of Agrophysics will provide up-to-date information on the physical properties and processes affecting the quality of the environment and plant production. It will be a "first-up" volume which will nicely complement the recently published Encyclopedia of Soil Science, (November 2007) which was published in the same series. In a single authoritative volume a collection of about 250 informative articles and ca 400 glossary terms covering all aspects of agrophysics will be presented. The authors will be renowned specialists in various aspects in agrophysics from a wide variety of countries. Agrophysics is important both for research and practical use not only in agriculture, but also in areas like environmental science, land reclamation, food processing etc. Agrophysics is a relatively new interdisciplinary field closely related to Agrochemistry, Agrobiology, Agroclimatology and Agroecology. Nowadays it has been fully accepted as an agricultural and environmental discipline. As such this Encyclopedia volume will be an indispensable working tool for scientists and practitioners from different disciplines, like agriculture, soil science, geosciences, environmental science, geography, and engineering.

Book Description
These proceedings are a continuation of the series of International Conferences in Germany entitled "Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils." The objective is to discuss and understand unsaturated soil behaviour, so that engineered activities are improved in terms of judgement and quality. In addition to knowledge of classical concepts, it is a challenge to adapt convincing new concepts and present them in such a way that they can be used in engineering practices.
