God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:9 - 1:10) Hydrological Characterization of a Forest Soil Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography Abstract An explicit knowledge of soil properties is required in agronomy, nature conservation, and hydrology to characterize water storage and water flow processes, even more in the context of climate change.
