Abstract The method of base characteristics quantification of water infiltration into soil profile through soil surface was developed. The water infiltration base characteristics are rate of ...

Soil hydraulic properties play a pivotal role in controlling water flow in terrestrial ecosystems and underpin a myriad of hydrological processes. By quantifying parameters such as saturated hydraulic ...

In the spring many agricultural producers are anxious to get into the field and perform tillage, planting, and chemical applications. However, if field operations are done when the soil is too wet, ...
