Moisture and salinity profiles in the French Atlantic coastal marshes and consequences on plant available water

The results demonstrate the PAW evolution at successive depths compared to deepening evapotranspiration drying fronts and ascending capillarity rise. Based on soil water contents measured at 10 cm and/or 20 cm depths, the modeled PAW profiles are found sufficiently realistic to be used as an efficient tool to aid crop farming in these territories governed by the superimposed water and salt stresses.
