-characterise liquid and gaseous phases and their relations
-measure soil moisture (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 crops modelling schemes |
