175(6):573-578. Interpretive Summary: Various soil properties
affect how heat and electrical charge moves through the soil,
including how dense the soil is, the temperature and water
content, and how much salts, fine particles (clays), and organic
matter are in the soil. This studied showed there were big
differences in movement of heat and electrical charge through
soils from different states. Within fields in close proximity
the differences were small, though the soils were
