| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "determine particle migration from the rootzone layer into underlying gravels of increasing size in situations where no intermediate layer is present, to assess the effects of different intermediate and drainage layers on moisture retention in the rootzone layer," and "to review the particle size criteria for the selection of intermediate layer and drainage layer materials." A separate study examined "the influence of particle size of the intermediate layers on moisture retention within an 80:20 sand/peat rootzone." Results indicate that "increasing proportions of coarse and medium-coarse sand had significant effects on the moisture content of the intermediate layer," although "no strong relationships were found between the composition of the intermediate layer and moisture retention with [within] the rootzone." |
