Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006375

Water vapor absorbed from the atmosphere by a substance, such as soil, when the air is not saturated. This moisture is held tightly by molecular forces on the surface of soil particles and is generally unavailable for plant uptake. It represents the water content below the wilting point for most plants.
