Answer:
Soil moisture not only affects precipitation, but temperature as well. A very wet soil on a sunny day will give rise to more evaporation, while a very dry soil will allow more of the solar radiation to warm the surface, giving warmer daytime temperatures
Should soil always be moist?
In most cases, the soil should be damp to the root zone – 6 to 12 inches (15-30 cm.). However, sandy soil drains quickly and should be watered when the soil is dry to a depth of 2 to 4 inches (5-10 cm.). Remember that the need for water also varies widely depending on the plant.
