2.2.2. Soil Data

The physical and chemical soil characteristics which were measured are listed in Tables 1 and 2. The soil texture was measured using the pipette method [70]. The bulk density was measured by the core method [71]. Field capacity, wilting point, and saturated hydraulic conductivity were derived from tension and soil moisture monitoring, using MPS2 and 10HS probes and using inverse modelling as presented in [72].

**Table 2.** Measured chemical soil characteristics.


Note: EC is electrical conductivity; OM is organic matter content; N is total nitrogen; P is available phosphorous; K is exchangeable potassium; CEC is cation exchange capacity.
