Examples in Context

  1. Available water capacity ( AWC ) of soil is important for studying soil humidity, irrigation management, ecological agricultural planning, evaluation of crop growth potential and simulation of change of globe land cover under affection of economical factors and climate changes.
  2. Soil available water capacity ( AWC ) plays an important role in the evaluation of drought resistance of soil, planning and managing water resources and conducting irrigation.
  3. Synthesized drought index not only takes into account the meteorological precipitation deficit, soil water stress, vegetation growth status, but also consider the type of land use, the available water capacity of soil and other factors.
  4. The results of wetting and drying cycle made field water capacity decrease, wilting coefficient increase, and available water capacity decrease in greenhouse soils. 7.
  5. Though the wilting coefficient of soil tend to increase as water retaining agents increased, the amplitude was low, so the soil available water capacity augmented obviously.
