Gamma-ray beam attenuation as an auxiliary technique for the evaluation of the soil water retention curve

The soil water retention curve is fundamental for the hydraulic characterization of a soil and has many applications in agricultural research as well as in practical agriculture. A new procedure for soil moisture and soil bulk density evaluation inside closed pressure chambers through gamma-ray beam...
