The Sticky Point Water of Soils. Part II1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
Keen and Coutts(8) and Coutts(1) have suggested that the percentage of water in a soil at the sticky point is related to the colloidal content of the soil, as measured by “loss on ignition,” in the following manner:
S = mI + c,
i.e. by a rectilinear equation, and point out that the figure obtained for c approximates to the theoretical percentage of water held in the interstitial spaces of an ideal soil.
