Soil morphology predicts water flow in Alberta, revolutionizing land management.
Vertical saturated hydraulic conductivity of soils in Alberta can be estimated using soil morphology, rather than time-consuming measurement techniques. A study found that morphological observations can accurately predict soil conductivity, with 83% of estimates matching field measurements. This means that soil characteristics can be quickly assessed in the field, allowing for better management practices in Chernozemic areas. This method can help predict soil conductivity and guide land management decisions.
