-characterise liquid and gaseous phases and their relations
-measure water moisture in soils
-use and discuss results
-measure water retention curve and discuss about its agronomical relevance
-caracterise water movements in saturated soils
-caracterise water movements in unsaturated soils
-explain main water soil plants modelling schemes |
