Soil physical laboratory

Our soil physics laboratory is equipped with standard methods to measure the physical properties of undisturbed and disturbed soil core and to monitor transport processes in small scale soil columns.

Currently, we provide following measurements:

• Soil hydraulic properties

• Multi-step outflow method

• Sandbox, pressure plates, and WP-4

• Saturated hydraulic conductivity (permeameter)

• Transport properties

• Controlled irrigation setup (unsaturated conditions)

• Soil electrical properties

• Dielectrical soil properties

• Bulk electrical conductivity (time domain reflectometry)
