| Preferred label | Soil Moisture Regime, Wetness |
| Definition | The following wetness characters are categorized referring to the Environmental Qualifiers of the General Habitat Categories (GHC), as laid out in the “Manual for Habitat and Vegetation Surveillance and Monitoring”. The soil moisture is dependent on external and internal factors like precipitation, evaporation, capillary rise and infiltration. Further, to measure soil moisture, two complementary parameters are of importance: the volumetric water content (VWC) and the soil water tension (SWT). VWC expresses the share in % of water volume in a given soil volume, and SWT measured the force necessary for plant roots to extract water from the soil. |
