“…Continuous tension may be applied to percolation samplers at a constant potential via hanging water columns (Holder et al 1991;Boll, Steenhuis, and Selker 1992;Zhu, Fox, and Toth 2002) or by pneumatic vacuum (Cole, Gessel, and Held 1961;Cochran, Marion, and Leaf 1970;Kincaid et al 1979;Haines, Waide, and Todd 1982;Hergert 1986;Montgomery, Prunty, and Bauder 1987;Klocke et al 1993). Continuous tension applied to samplers may also be varied to match ambient soil conditions at the sampler-soil interface, either manually (Brye et al 1999) or automatically (Duke and Haise 1973;van Grinsven et al 1988;Lentz, Sojka, and Kincaid 1998;Lentz and Kincaid 2003;Masarik et al 2004).…”
