🌱 Soil Evaporation Lysimeter: Two-Stage Drying, Capillary Wicking and Mulch

A 60 cm soil core dries under a lamp and fan: the Richards equation moves water through four van Genuchten soils while FAO-56 Penman-Monteith sets the air demand, so stage 1 (energy-limited) turns into stage 2 (soil-limited). Compare sand, loam and clay loam, mulch cover and a shallow water table.
