Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing,

sensing methods. Soil moisture measurement is an important factor in determining changes in soil activity. The atmosphere of soil, or soil gas, is very different

Soil texture is a classification instrument used both in the field and laboratory to determine soil classes based on their physical texture. Soil texture

Soil liquefaction occurs when a cohesionless saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied

long-term stand alone soil flux systems for measurement at one location at different times; survey soil respiration systems for measurement of different locations

measurement at the native soil pH is termed "effective CEC", which more closely reflects the real value, but can make direct comparison between soils

and measurements. Soil health testing is pursued as an assessment of this status but tends to be confined largely to agronomic objectives. Soil health

Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per
