Definition

Volumetric water retention refers to the amount of water retained in the soil, expressed as a volume per unit volume of soil. This measure is crucial for understanding the soil's ability to retain and supply water to plants, and it is often assessed at different matric potentials, such as 33 kPa or 1500 kPa, depending on the context.
