please check the definition:
a ratio expressing the amount of water in soil, as a percentage, compared to the total water-holding capacity between the wilting point (very dry) and saturation (very wet) for a given soil type. Expressed as a unitless ratio (0–1) or %.
formula: RSM=soil moisture-wilting point/saturation-wilting point

missing soil moisture terms:
1.permanent wilting point: The water content at which plants can no longer extract moisture, leading to wilting and potential plant death. Water is still present in the soil, but it is tightly bound and unavailable to plants. This is lower limit of plant-available water. Expressed in m3/m3, %, or mm
-
available water capacity: amount of water that a soil can store and make available to plants, defined as the difference between field capacity and the permanent wilting point. Expressed in m3/m3, %, or mm
-
saturation soil moisture: maximum amount of water a soil can hold when all its pores are completely filled with water — that is, the soil is fully saturated and contains no air in the pore spaces. Expressed in m3/m3, %, or mm.

@lelavathy I have updated the relative soil moisture and added the missing terms. Could you please check the changes and approve when you're happy with it :-) |
…stures-to-glossary
This PR added definitions of different soil moisture related variables to the glossary. Please check if correct and if any important terms are missing.
