Short summary
We present a novel method for soil water extraction – circulating-air soil water extraction – together with a newly developed apparatus specifically designed for its purposes. The method has been tested across a range of soil types, demonstrating an accuracy level that matches or surpasses that of conventional extraction techniques. The apparatus is optimized for small-scale, high-precision studies in which an unambiguous determination of the water origin is required.
