Abstract Permanent wilting point (PWP) is generally used to ascertain plant resistance against abiotic drought stress and designated as the soil water content (θ) corresponding suction (ψ) at 1500 kPa obtained from retention curve. Determination of PWP based on only pre-assumed ψ may not represent true condition for soils with contrasting abilities. In addition ψ, there a need explore significance additional parameters (i.e., stomatal conductance photosynthetic status) in determining PWP....
Abstract Aims Gradients in water potential of soil and plant system drives the movement soil-plant-atmospheric continuum. Here, we demonstrate how root measured directly from roots upon changes would contribute to understanding drought response Chrysopogon zizanoides . Methods Plants L. were sampled at different status (inducing drought) growth periods (3-, 4- 5- months). The leaves plants dissected measure specific leaf area, respectively. was a WP4C dew-point potentiometer. Root diameter...
Biochar has been recently investigated as an eco-friendly material in bio-engineered slopes/landfill covers. A majority of recent studies have focused on analyzing water retention behavior while very few examined dynamic (i.e., cyclic loading due to earthquake, wind, or wave) biochar amended soil. As far the authors are aware, there is no study soils. Considering above mentioned a major objective, field excavated soil was collected and mixed with in-house produced from peach endocarps, at...
Preservation of green infrastructure (GI) needs continuous monitoring soil moisture. Moisture content in is generally interpreted on the basis electrical conductivity (EC), temperature and relative humidity (RH). However, validity previous approaches to interpret moisture urban landscape was rarely investigated. There a need relate with other parameters (EC, RH) economize sensor installation. This study aims quantify dynamics above-mentioned an space, further develop correlations between...
<p>Plant roots affect soil water regime through root-water uptake upon transpiration. This process induces matric suction, which affects hydraulic conductivity, shear strength and hence shallow stability. is referred to as plant hydrological reinforcement in the bioengineering application. Recent experimental evidence put forward by authors has demonstrated that should not be exclusively limited effects of The presentation will provide some new other potential aspects...
