Les gaz constituant l'atmosphère du sol ont une composition variable; on retrouve les gaz de l'atmosphère libre, en particulier l'azote et l'oxygène. [...] Quant à la vapeur d'eau, sa pression partielle est telle que l'humidité relative soit en équilibre avec le potentiel matriciel de l'eau dans le sol. 3, record 3, French, - pression%20partielle
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les auteurs, anciennement, exprimaient la pression partielle en millimètres de mercure. Les auteurs français modernes utilisent plutôt la pression partielle en millibars. Ainsi, la pression élémentaire de l'azote et de la vapeur d'eau sont respectivement de 780 mb et de 15 mb sur une pression totale de 1015 mb. 4, record 3, French, - pression%20partielle
