HYDROPHYSICAL INDICATORS OF THE SOILS IN HOROIATA BASIN
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2010, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Soil physical state directly influences environmental and production quality. The indicators of soil physical state include depth, soil structure, texture, useful volume, density, porosity, water retention capacity and other hydric parameters. The different importance that the soil-plant relationships and the different water contents in soil have in practical applications led to the defining of some conventional values of humidity, accepted as indicating significant changes in the mobility and accessibility of water for plants. These conventional values make up the hydrophysical indices (Canarache, 1969, 1990). We have computed these indices for the soils in Horoiata basin, so as to see how soils developed on sandy deposits of this area behave from this viewpoint.
