What is capillary inversion?

Capillary inversion is a process in which water in the soil moves upward against the force of gravity. This phenomenon occurs when soil moisture content is higher at the surface, causing water to move upwards through capillary action. Capillary inversion can impact water distribution in the soil profile and influence plant water uptake.
