Question: You are given a soil sample with a wet weight of 3 1 4 g . After drying at 1 0 5 deg C

You are given a soil sample with a wet weight of 314 g. After drying at 105\deg C for 24 hrs, the dry weight is measured at 279 g. Careful measurement of the soil sample determines the volume of the soil core is 142 cm3. Determine the available water storage in the soil profile by calculating the original water content (%) of the soil on a volumetric basis (volume of water per volume of bulk soil).
