Utilização das relações energia/umidade na caracterização físico-hídrica dos solos.

Abstract

Three different soils (Sandy,, Sandy Clay Loam and Sandy Clay ) were used to test the use of the soil moisture caracteristic curve for the physical - hydric characterization of soils, The obtaned results ( total porosity, effective porosity, field capacity, permanent wilting point and hydraulic conductivity) were estatistically compared with those obtained by laboratory or field conventional methods, The results allow to conclude that the proposed methodology is a reliable alternative for the determination of the studied parameters,
