Measuring Frozen Water Potential: How and Why?

Colin Campbell
In China recently, a fellow scientist asked Dr. Colin Campbell if matric potential sensors work in frozen soils.  His answer? Sort of. In this blog, he explains what he meant by his enigmatic reply: When water freezes in the soil, most matric potential sensors won’t work accurately because frozen water essentially disappears to the measurement. For example, […] The post Measuring Frozen Water Potential: How and Why? appeared first on Environmental Biophysics .
