Basic information

Name	Relative Water Content Index
Abbreviation	RWC
Formula	$\frac{\mathrm{FW}-\mathrm{DW}}{\mathrm{TW}-\mathrm{DW}}$
Variables
Expl. of Variables	where FW is the field weight, DW the oven dry weight, and TW the turgid weight. Limitations of retrieving RWC using reflectance in the optical domain have been discussed by Bowman (1989) and Ripple (1986)
