The purpose of the present work was to establish and to test pedotransfer functions for water retention the Rio Grande do Sul s soils. Water retention data were obtained from Solano Peraza s dissertation, Irriga System ...

Water stored in the soil between field capacity and the permanent wilting point, is known as the available water capacity. Its availability to be effectively used by plants depends on the type of soil and its water retention ...

It is known that PSE meat present important functional defects, such as low water holding capacity and ultimate pH, which may compromise the quality of further-processed meat products. In this study, L* (lightness), a* ...

The effect of land use on the water retention capacity of Umbric Andosols in south Ecuador was studied. The objective was to acquire a better insight into the hydrological processes of the ecosystem and the role of the ...

The carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from various terrestrial ecosystems under various moisture contents provides a good understanding of the carbon cycle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of extreme moisture ...

This research is focused on molybdate and vanadate removal from aqueous solutions by the liquid-phase polymer-based retention (LPR) technique. In this technique, a cationic water-soluble polymer based on the ammonium ...

The superior limit of water retention in soil, also known as field capacity, still is motive of discussion and research inside the academic community. This happens because the variability of soils determines the alternation ...
