Ascension d'un liquide dans un tube capillaire immergé dans ce liquide, mesurée à partir de la surface du liquide à l'extérieur du tube. 2, record 1, French, - ascension%20capillaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cette ascension dépend de la mouillabilité du milieu et de la valeur de la tension superficielle. Ce concept s'étend à tout matériau poreux, roche ou sol. On peut évaluer la hauteur de l'ascension ou, si le liquide affleure à la surface du sol, le débit qui en résulte. Ce débit exprimé en millimètre par jour est mesurable; il représente une composante du bilan hydrique. Dans le cas des racines, son évaluation est plus difficile et exige la mise en place de tensiomètres en-dessous de la zone de succion des racines. 3, record 1, French, - ascension%20capillaire
