Soil moisture refers to the amount of water present in the soil. It is a measure of the water content of soil and can be expressed as a percentage of the soil's water-holding capacity.
Soil moisture can be affected by a number of factors, including precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration, and human activities such as irrigation and land use changes.
Maintaining the appropriate level of soil moisture is important for optimal plant growth and development, as well as for protecting soil structure and preventing erosion.
Proper soil moisture management can also help to conserve water and reduce the need for irrigation, which can be beneficial for both the environment and the economy.
