Soil Pore Space and Water Content

Soil pore space holds water and air. Soil moisture content is the amount of water present in soil. This water sits in the spaces between soil aggregates and inside the aggregates themselves.

These spaces are called inter-aggregate pore space and intra-aggregate pore space. In normal soil, pore sp...

The amount of water held in soil is an important component of biological and ecological processes, and is used in applications such as farming, erosion prevention, flood control, and drought prediction.

Soils typically contain a finite amount of water, which can be expressed as the soil moisture content. Moisture exists in soil within the ...
