Parameter to be measured:
Soil matric potential
Method:
Tensiometer
Equipment:
T5
Advantages:
- Small
- Very fast response
- Great resolution when used with the DL6-te Tensiometer Data logger
- Reliable
Disadvantages:
- Their small size makes them great for laboratory or flume experiments but less appropriate for field measurements.
- They have to be taken out of the soil to refill them.
What to watch out for:
- Don’t burry them too deep - you will have to dig them out (and thus disturb the soil again) if you need to refill them.
