Numerical simulations were conducted to quantify soil saturation index (SSI, ratio of saturated time to the whole observation period) for analyzing plant zonation.
The weather service has developed ways to calculate degrees of soil saturation by county, and to predict how much more rain would be needed before flooding occurs.
DCA axis 1 showed significant positive correlation with CaCO3, pH, soil saturation and organic matter, and interpreted as a calcium carbonate soil saturation gradient.
This creates a particular problem in the rainy season when excess soil saturation leads to high levels of surface runoff, thus increasing human exposure to contaminated water sources.
The proposed function depends on soil saturation, soil and pile thermal properties, and pile geometry.
Also evapotranspiration and snow processes play a critical role determining, for example, before-event soil saturation.
As rain continued last night, with more predicted today in Connecticut and on Long Island, officials were watching their soil saturation models to determine how much more rain the soil can hold before flooding begins.
Combined with an abundance of subsoil waters and their proximity to the surface, a virtually unique soil saturation and associated bogging down of the surface are thus produced.
Soil saturation is known to be of crucial importance to denitrification and other nitrogen cycling processes within the riparian zone.
In summary, soil saturation appears to act as a chronic stressor for tree species in this ecosystem.
Therefore, current analytical models do not capture the effects of soil saturation on the uplift resistance of buried pipeline.
