Water content dynamics in a volcanic ash soil slope in southern Chile

Andisols present exceptional physical properties, making up 24%), however, during summer they can reach volumetric water contents near to the permanent wilting point quickly at a depth of 5 cm. The water table altitude was directly related to the temporal changes of θFᵢₑₗd measured at a depth of 50 cm, highlighting the fact that the saturated and unsaturated zones are connected.
