How these factors affect drying

SoilClay

CanopyPartial 49%

A mix of sun and shade. Conditions vary across the network, with open sections drying faster than covered ones.

TerrainHolds water

Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
