Hydrophysical characteristics of selected soils from arctic and temperate zones

Abstract Hydrophysical characteristics of arctic and temperate zones soils were determined. The soils from the temperate zone showed a greater capability of water retention than those from the arctic zone. In both investigated depths (surface and subsurface layers), the highest water content was obs...
