If the moisture content of 0-15 cm, soil layer is 22%, then the moisture content in depth will be
A.
3 cm
B.
3.3 cm
AnswerC.
3.8 cm
D.
3.2 cm
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
If the moisture content of 0 - 15 cm, the soil layer is 22%, then the moisture content in depth will be 3.3 cm.Soil moisture content was lower in topsoil (0 - 20 cm) compared to deeper soil (40 - 80cm). And the moisture content is then calculated by subtracting the weight of the dry soil from the weight of the moist soil and then dividing by the weight of the dry soil.
