Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Water-Relation Between Plant and Soil The work of Dixon and his colleagues, and that of Renner, of Overton, and others have at length placed upon what appears to be a rational physical basis the long-vexed question of the dynamics of the ascent of water in plants, and recent studies of the relation of the evaporating power of the air and that of sunshine to plant transpiration have made it possible at least to begin to consider the problems of the aerial water relation of plants as involving measurable forces or powers. Our knowledge of the subterranean water-relation of plants remains, however, in an exceedingly primitive condition, although the a priori analysis of the problem here involved may be carried forward beyond the ability of present methods to furnish experimental data. Livingston has insisted that the power of the soil to deliver water to root surfaces is the prime external condition determining the moisture supply to plants in non-saline and non-toxic soils, and the same writer has emphasized the need of some adequate method for determining this water-supplying power of the soil.

This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Plant-Soil-Water Relations in Watershed Management This broad objective is generally acceptable, and few people disagree that such management is needed. However, few under stand the complex plant-soil-water relationships, both physical and biological, that underlie it. This publication describes some of these relationships, and indicates their practical significance with special reference to the protection and management of for est, brush, and range areas in the interest of their optimum long run service to present and future generations. The why's of the more significant effects of plant cover and cultural practices upon soil and water will especially be stressed. The authors believe such an approach to be essential because, although past research has emphasized - and to good advantage to what extent cover and culture affect soil and water behavior, it has neglected in great part the As a result, most research findings have applied only to the small plots or other limited areas on which the investigations were undertaken. This situation in turn has led to unnecessary duplication of investiga tive work in an effort to widen the areas of application. Also, some investigations, because they were founded on inadequate knowledge of the fundamental processes involved, have produced results which have appeared contradictory to those obtained from previous studies. Practical watershed management will be achieved only to the extent that it rests upon a thorough understanding of the funda mental natural processes which govern the behavior of soil, plants, and water. Fortunately, progress in the allied fields of soils and plant physiology, among others, and in the field of plant soil-water relations as a Whole, has provided some insight into these processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Conditions and Plant Growth It is hoped that this new arrangement will prove satisfactory to students. It has the advantage that the book still covers the whole ground, while remaining of a manageable size, and that it is closely linked up with a series of similar books, each dealing with separate sections, in which more complete treatment and more fully informed criticism are given than I could myself undertake. On the other hand, the necessity for freedom of treatment, and the difficulty of placing such subjects as Soil Physics or Soil Protozoa under the heading of Biochemistry, compelled the withdrawal of the book from the important Biochemical Series, of which it has hitherto been a member. And, although Drs. Plimmer and Hopkins willingly consented, this course was not taken without serious consideration and regret: it in volves the separation of the book from a very useful series of volumes.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moisture Content and Physical Condition of Soils Optimum; and, on the other hand, there is no especial difficulty in carrying some of our common crops to a satisfactory maturity in water cultures. The investigation described in the following pages Shows conclusively not only that physical condition and the several properties on which it depends have an intimate relation with the water content of the soil, but that there is marked accentuation in these properties at a critical water content; and that this critical con tent is identical with the optimum water content. The moisture penetration curve shows a minimum force required for penetration at the optimum water content; the moisture-apparent Specific gravity curve shows a minimum point at the Optimum water content; the curves for evaporation show a marked difference in the rate of evapo ration above and below the optimum water content. It is apparent, therefore, that the true significance of optimum water content is that particular content at which the soil can be put into the best possible condition for plant growth. The plant can then best draw its needed water from the soil because all the other factors making for good growth are also at their best. Moreover, an increase in water content in excess of the optimum generally produces a greater detrimental effect on the plant than a decrease below the optimum. Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that practical men in bringing a soil to Optimum water content judge when this point is reached by the appearance and feel of the soil; i. E., by the phys ical condition into which it can be brought, and not directly by any plant phenomenon. There is a widespread impression that the Opti mum water content for any one soil varies for different plants. That is, the physiological optimum, as determined by the plant, may not coincide with the physical optimum, as determined by the soil proper ties. While this may be true for certain exceptional cases, it is erro neons as regards the majority of common field crops, since the water content that makes for the best physical condition of the soil is as a necessary consequence the best for plant growth. Other evidence from experiments on wilting will be given in detail in support of this view. The available evidence seems to be conclusive that the problem of water supply and optimum water content is fundamentally a soil problem and incidentally a plant problem.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flow and Retention of Water in Layered Soils Knowledge about the water-retention proper ties of the soil enables one to estimate the need for and the frequency of irrigation. Satisfactory methods are available or being developed (5) that can be used to predict the extraction rate of water from'the soil by growing plants. If one knows how much water is retained for plant use in the soil after irrigation and how fast it is ex tracted, the scheduling of irrigations with reason able accuracy is simple. Such factors as continued deep drainage after irrigation and level of with drawal before irrigation have to be considered.
