Rainfall Simulator: A Soil Health Demonstration

In a newly released video, a collaboration between the Almond Board of California and UC Davis demonstrates how healthy rainfall events interact with a variety of soil types. Nall Moonilall, a postdoctoral researcher, and Kelsey Fenn, a graduate student from UC Davis, guide viewers through a fascinating demonstration of water movement in soils under different vegetative covers using a rainfall simulator. Filmed at the East Stanislaus RCD SOILS Center, this video explores how various orchard floor management practices influence soil health, water infiltration and runoff.
