Soil Evaporation

The two main sub-folders are "Silty Sand" and "Lean Clay", which are representative regional soils of the Canadian Prairies. The sand is an inert soil that remains relatively unchanged with water content fluctuation, while the clay is an active soil that shrinks and swells with water. Each material has a "General Properties" sub-folder containing data used to make classifications that are independent of the pore fluid type. The "Water Pore Fluid" and "Saline Pore Fluid" contain "Specific Properties" sub-folders that contain data used to make classifications that are dependent on the pore fluid type. In addition, "Low Demand Evaporation" and "High Demand Evaporation" sub-folders contain data generated in the bench-scale atmospheric simulator (BAS2) and in ambient laboratory conditions. There are "3D Models" sub-folders containing all the data that was intermittently captured throughout the low demand evaporation experiments.

本数据集包含两个主要子文件夹：「粉砂质砂土（Silty Sand）」与「瘦黏土（Lean Clay）」，二者均为加拿大大草原地区的代表性区域性土壤。其中砂土为惰性土壤，其物理性质随含水率波动仅保持相对稳定；而黏土为活性土壤，会随含水率变化发生体积胀缩现象。两类土壤均设有「通用特性（General Properties）」子文件夹，其内存储的数据可用于构建与孔隙流体类型无关的土壤分类模型。「孔隙水（Water Pore Fluid）」与「含盐孔隙流体（Saline Pore Fluid）」文件夹下均设有「专属特性（Specific Properties）」子文件夹，其内存储的数据仅可用于构建依赖孔隙流体类型的土壤分类模型。此外，「低需求蒸发（Low Demand Evaporation）」与「高需求蒸发（High Demand Evaporation）」子文件夹存储了分别在台式大气模拟器（BAS2）与实验室常温环境下生成的实验数据。「三维模型（3D Models）」子文件夹存储了低需求蒸发实验全程间歇采集的全部实验数据。
