Drained soil near warm impermeable surfaces heats up and may dry. It is proposed here, based on a theoretical study, that a soil property—critical temperature difference-is a measure of the susceptibility of soil to drying; near a surface of any shape or size, drying will take place if a temperature difference greater than the critical temperature difference is maintained between any two points in the soil.
