Soil thermal properties

![Example of a complete system for measurement of soil thermal conductivity, specially designed for measurements at around 1.5 meters below the soil surface, which is the typical depth of burial for high voltage cables.](/Images/godic/202502/12/Soil_thermal_conductivity_measurement_system0453.png")
The thermal properties of soil are a component of soil physics that has found important uses in engineering, climatology and agriculture. These properties influence how energy is partitioned in the soil profile. While related to soil temperature, it is more accurately associated with the transfer of heat throughout the soil, by radiation, conduction and convection.
