Moisture Retention of Cultivated and Pastured Mollisols and Alfisols1

C. B. England2

ABSTRACT

Comparison of surface soil moisture characteristic curves for Mollisols and Alfisols under pasture and row-crop cultivation revealed that below 1/3 bar suctions cultivated Mollisols retained 40% more water and cultivated Alfisols retained 25% more than corresponding pastured soils. At tensions above 1/3 bar, cultivated soils of both orders held less water.
