Matt Pitt of Cranfield University has a deep interest in modelling hydraulic data and is part-way through a fascinating PhD project centred on the ways in which various tillage regimes affect the long-term properties of soil. “My research aims to assess if non-inversion tillage practices improve water transport in soil during and near saturation – where percolation leads to ...
Our goal is to provide you with the tools to make the right decision when it comes to selecting the right soil sensor for your application. We are delving into the most asked question. How do soil moisture sensors work, and what is the difference between a point and profile measurement? Soil moisture sensors measure the water content in the soil and can be used to estimate the amount of stored ...
It is becoming painfully obvious to these sectors that communication, monitoring and navigational technology and systems must be updated to provide operators with automated and reliable access to data in real time from any sensor, sonde, datalogger, acoustic doppler current profile or probe, wherever it may be deployed in their network infrastructures. ...

Nearby pumps discharging into a pipe near the meter would disrupt the flow profile. Items protruding into the pipe, such as probes, can be problematic as well. Flow Disturbers’ Effects On Flow Measurement Flow disturbers can create an asymmetric velocity profile or swirl, resulting in significant flow measurement errors. Flow meter ...
There has been much recent interest in modifying root system properties to overcome the effects of soil abiotic stress on crop growth and yield (Lynch 2007; Ghanem et al. 2011). Plant root systems are usually exposed to heterogeneous environmental conditions due to vertical differences in soil moisture and strength. Strong subsurface layers of soil can confine root systems to shallower soil ...
FutMon project Delta‐T Profile Probes have been installed at four sites across the U.K. to provide soil moisture data as part of FutMon, an EU Life+ project. ...
Finding the right probe set comes down to design and capabilities. Capabilities include factors like frequency, while design includes size and profile. ...
Examples of items that can disturb the flow profile are double elbows, abrupt diameter changes, and large T-pieces. ...
Recent Activities in Soil Physics The CEPHaS project is a joint undertaking between colleagues in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and the UK to strengthen our shared capacity to study how conservation agriculture practices affect the behaviour of water in soil, crop and groundwater systems. Key to this is the use of new methods to study soil water, both in the field and the laboratory. The University ...
How do you accurately sample the profile while disturbing the soil as little as possible? Let’s consider the pros and cons of five different profile sampling strategies.Commercial Profile ProbesProfile probes are a one-stop solution for profile water content measurements. One probe installed in a ...
Hence, from the horizontal total stress measurements with a vertical probe, the in situ vertical total stress profile of the slurry can be obtained. In principle, the integration of the density profile with depth gives the vertical total stress profile. Therefore, an estimate of the density can be made from the gradient of the ...
