Abstract
Abstract
To evaluate the aeration, water penetration, and water retention properties of peat under field conditions of water saturation, the method for determining the volume weight, water-holding capacity, and air capacity of water-saturated peat materials has been proposed and studied collaboratively. Although statistical treatment of the collaborative results indicates a satisfactory degree of precision for the products under consideration, correlation of the results with data indicates that small changes in the “packing” technique of the method would be desirable. The proposed method, as amended, is recommended for adoption as official, first action.
