Record number: 8, Textual support number: 2 CONT
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. Par suite des échanges avec l'atmosphère libre, les pressions partielles de chaque gaz au-dessus et au-dessous de la surface du sol tendent à s’équilibrer. Par contre, en raison de la respiration(des racines, des micro-organismes et de la faune souterraine) ainsi que de certaines fermentations, le taux de gaz carbonique est considérablement plus élevé et celui de l'oxygène plus faible que dans l'air. 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. Ainsi la concentration de la vapeur d’eau croît avec la température et décroît avec l'humidité, ce deuxième effet n’ étant appréciable qu'aux très faibles humidités. À signaler enfin, la formation possible en milieu réducteur de certains gaz comme le méthane et l'hydrogène sulfuré. 4, record 8, French, - air%20du%20sol
