| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the potential effects of water and air content in soil, explaining that "as the soil dries, more and more of the soil porosity becomes filled with air, whereas when the soil is wetted by rain or irrigation the air is forced out of the pores as they refill with water." States that an "adverse effect of decreasing oxygen supply in the soil is change in the oxidation state or physical chemsitry of the soil." Suggests that "generally it is desirable to have a soil with a high percentage of plant available water...Sands always contain less plant available water than clays." |
