Lysimeter definition

Lysimeter means an instrument (pore-liquid sampler) for sampling the water percolating through soils that will be used to determine the nutrients and their levels dissolved in the water percolate.
Lysimeter means a device for withdrawing pore water samples from the unsaturated zone and that does not intersect the water table.
Lysimeter means an instrument (usually ceramic) for sampling the water percolating through soils that will be used to determine the nutrients and their levels dissolved in the water percolate.
