Monitoring-based investigation of Cambisols moisture regimes for areas in autonomous relief positions
Year: 2019
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In 2012 - 2018 water regime monitoring was carried out at two areas of Cambisols (non-gleyic and Gleyic) in autonomous relief positions (hill tops) of the Sambian hilly moraine plain (Kaliningrad region). Differences between soils in duration of the desiccation period (moisture content < lento-capillary point) and overmoistening period (moisture content > field capacity) in the 0 - 20 cm and 0 - 100 cm layers are established. Formation of zones with critical air supply (aeration porosity below 10%) has been studied.
