= total mass / total volume
soil moisture content (θ_m, mass wetness)

= mass of water in soil / mass of solids in soil
volumetric moisture content (θ_v)

= volume of water/ total volume
degree of saturation (s_e)

= volume of water / volume of air and water
porosity (n)

= volume of air and water / total volume
