[edit] Parameter to be measured:

Soil matric potential

[edit] Method:

Tensiometer

[edit] Equipment:

T5

[edit] Advantages:

  • Small
  • Very fast response
  • Great resolution when used with the DL6-te Tensiometer Data logger
  • Reliable


[edit] Disadvantages:

  • Their small size makes them great for laboratory or flume experiments but less appropriate for field measurements.
  • They have to be taken out of the soil to refill them.


[edit] What to watch out for:

  • Don’t burry them too deep - you will have to dig them out (and thus disturb the soil again) if you need to refill them.
