Abstract: In the present study an attempt has been made to understand the inter-relationship between soil moisture and in situ temperature of the soil and its impact on specific soil parameters. The data revealed that when there is rise in temperature, adequate moisture loss takes place. Due to loss in moisture there is soil drying which in turn may prevent seed germination. This inter-relationship also impacts on certain basic parameters like density, cationic and anionic generation etc. This study will provide a basic platform for understanding the role of soil moisture and soil temperature extensively.

Keywords: Cationic and anionic generation, inter-relationship, soil parameters, atmospheric precipitation
