edition of an environmental soil science classic, Soil Physics, Sixth Edition presents updated …

The thermal conductivity of soil under a given set of conditions is most important as it relates
to a soil's microclimate. The early growth and development of a crop may be determined to a …

Thermal properties dictate the storage and movement of heat in soils and as such influence
the temperature and heat flux in soils as a function of time and depth. The ability to monitor …

This paper reviews measurement techniques and corresponding devices used to determine
the physical properties of the seasonal snowpack from distances close to the ground …

Accurate and continuous measurements of soil thermal and hydraulic properties are
required for environmental, Earth and planetary science, and engineering applications, but …

Accurate methods are needed to measure changing soil water content from meter to
