The matric potential hc is negative in unsaturated soil (pores partly filled with water and partly with air), because work is needed to withdraw water against the soil matric forces. It is not essential to know these forces in detail: it suffices that hc can be measured by tensiometry or other techniques. 2, record 11, English, - tensiometry
Record number: 11, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Tensiometry ...: Two kinds of devices are widely distributed on the French market: 'standard' tensiometers (porous cup linked to a depression manometer by a tube filled with water); and watermark sensors (electrical measure block buried in the ground and removable meter). Tensiometers measure the soil matric potential (but only below 100 kPa). A little delicate to implement, exacting to pick out (automation is desirable), nevertheless they are a good tool for controlling the irrigations (particularly drip). Nowadays they are more used by agricultural advisers than by farmers, unless the latter are well trained. 3, record 11, English, - tensiometry

Le potentiel matriciel de l'eau du sol. [...] Trois types de mesure sont couramment utilisés :-par extraction de l'eau sous pression : des échantillons de sol saturés sont placés sur une porcelaine poreuse ou une membrane de cellophane, dans une enceinte où l'on règle la pression(comptée au dessus de la pression atmosphérique), le côté opposé est à la pression atmosphérique. L'eau filtre jusqu'à ce que le potentiel soit le même des deux côtés. Après équilibre : le potentiel matriciel de l'eau du sol est égal et de signe opposé à la pression. La détermination de l'humidité du sol fournit alors un point de la courbe reliant le potentiel à l'humidité; en répétant cette mesure avec des pressions différentes, on peut tracer la courbe.

The sand and gravel were carefully washed from the interior of the scoop, and the wood surface was cleaned with an ultrasonic dental scaler and soft brushes. The PEGcon method (which employs software developed jointly by Parks Canada and CCI) was used to evaluate the condition of the wood and to calculate suitable polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions for treatment. The cleaned scoop was then soaked in PEG solution as directed by PEGcon; the wood absorbed the PEG and the cell walls were protected against shrinkage and collapse. 1, record 13, English, - PEGcon%20method
