Relative to montmorillonitic or kaolinitic soils, volcanic soils have atypical dielectric characteristics that interfere with the applicability of the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique for soil moisture (θ) determination when common, empirical calibration equations are used. This particular dielectric response affects estimation of salinity in volcanic soils. Six TDR-based methods to estimate...
The transmission of an electromagnetic wave through the soil using time domain reflectometry (TDR) permits the determination of its water content, θ, given the composite dielectric constant of the soil, ε c , via Topp's equation. This is possible since the dielectric constant of water is much larger than that of the soil's solid phase (80 vs. 5) and, therefore, changes in soil moisture content...
Banana and other horticultural produce cultivation, together with the population increase, has led to coastal aquifer degradation in the Canary Islands. A detailed field study to track nitrogen degradation and transport through a banana plantation soil into the aquifer is presented. The main objective of the study is to understand and quantify the hydrological behavior of the system, and quantify...
The induction kinetic of the chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and the Fv/Fm ratio have been tested in order to find out the suitability of this technique to evaluate damage caused by salinity in plants of Rosa hybrida cv. Ilseta grafted on R. manetti growing in a greenhouse under non-saturating irradiance. Under these conditions salinity induced changes in plants morphology, nutrient and Chl contents...
