Limited effect of soil organic matter levels on available water capacity – NSW (Video)
This Soils Network of Knowledge and NSW DPI video addresses the idea that the plant available water capacity in soil can be improved by increasing organic matter content. Budiman Minasny explains his research on this topic that indicates that the increase in amount of water that is available to plants with an increase in organic matter is still uncertain and may be overestimated. This video is relevant to soils in other Australian states [1:00:21].#
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria, including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.
