Les combustibles morts. L'approvisionnement du sol en eau n’ influe que pendant peu de temps sur l'humidification de la matière organique morte dont l'hygroscopicité obéit exclusivement à des lois physiques. Une caractéristique du taux d’humidité des matériaux morts est qu'il tend constamment vers un état d’équilibre avec l'humidité relative de l'air qui l'enveloppe, et que toutes les variations subies par ce dernier se trouvent par conséquent répercutées au sein du combustible. 1, record 17, French, - combustibles%20morts

A few centimetres of coarse gravel, no deeper than the head of the nozzles, still further improves the flow of the filtrate and wash-water at floor level between the nozzles; there is therefore no possibility of a stagnant zone where sand, impurities or plankton might accumulate. 1, record 18, English, - stagnant%20zone

Seuls quelques centimètres de gros graviers, sur une hauteur égale à la tête des buselures, améliorent encore l'écoulement de l'eau filtrée et de l'eau de lavage au niveau du plancher entre les buselures; ainsi, il n’ existe aucune possibilité de zone morte où pourrait s’agglomérer le sable avec des impuretés ou du plancton. 1, record 18, French, - zone%20morte
