Table 3

Average values of bulk density (BD), field capacity (FC), permanent wilting point (PWP), and available water capacity (AWC) for plants.

Soil	Depth (cm)	BD (g/cm^3)	FC (pF 2.5%) (vol/vol)	PWP (pF 4.2%) (vol/vol)	AWC for plants % (vol/vol)
Gleyic Alisol	0–20	1.36	7.7	1.8	5.9

Dystric Gleysol	0–18	1.44	8.6	3.1	5.5
	18–32	1.47	9.4	4.1	5.3
Ferric Luvisol	0–20	1.1	10.1	2.7	7.4
