Measurement of soil hydraulic retention and conduction parameters using tension infiltrometers has been found to be useful but has suffered from unreliable instrument membranes at the soil interface and the need for manu ...

A method for measuring whole-tree interception of precipitation is presented which employs mechanical displacement sensors to measure trunk compression caused by the water captured by the tree. This direct and nondestruc ...

Water vapor transport in the vicinity of imbibing saline solutions was investigated in two-dimensional (2-D) chambers using a light transmission technique. Concentrated NaNO3 solutions (brines) were applied as point sour ...
