| Abstract: | Summary H2 consumption rates were significantly correlated with penetrometer measurements of soil samples at different compaction levels. By measuring the ratio of the H2 consumption of an undisturbed soil sample to that of a sieved soil, it is possible to obtain, in a rapid and simple way, an indication of the gas-diffusion status of the soil. |
