Soil water status as a function of pressure (tension). Soil water status in natural soils can range from a flooded. condition to drainable gravitational water to plant available water. down to hydroscopic water. Tensions in natural soils do not. exceed -31,000; in this range, water is absorbed from the air.

Tay-Sachs is a disease of the central nervous system; it is a neurodegenerative disorder. Tay-Sachs most commonly affects infants. In infants, it is a progressive disease that is unfortunately always fatal. Rarely, Tay-Sachs can occur in teens and adults, causing less severe symptoms. defective gene on chromosome 15 causes Tay-Sachs disease. This defective gene causes the body to not make a protein called hexosaminidase A. Without this protein, chemicals called gangliosides build up in nerve cells in the brain, destroying brain cells.
