Definition
Water retention at 500 kPa measures the volumetric water content of the soil at a pressure of 500 kPa, which lies between field capacity and permanent wilting point. This pressure is commonly used in assessing soil water retention characteristics for plants that are not able to access water at extremely low pressures. The volumetric water content at 500 kPa indicates the soil's capacity to hold water that is readily available for plant uptake. Source: Soil Science Society of America.
