Soil moisture, also referred to as soil water content, is a crucial geophysical state variable in
various fields, including agriculture, hydrology, meteorology, and remote sensing …

Advances in microelectronics during the last decades resulted in the development of several
dielectric‐based soil water monitoring techniques, that is, time‐domain reflectometry, single …

Relations between the spatial patterns of soil moisture, soil depth, and transpiration and
their influence on the hillslope water balance are not well understood. When determining a …

An increasing number of electromagnetic (EM) sensors are deployed to measure volumetric
soil water content (θ) for agricultural, ecological, and geotechnical applications. While …

Summary 1 Water is a key resource in tropical savannas. Changes in vegetation structure
due to land‐use change and increased fire frequency may affect the availability of water and …

Widespread interest in soil water content (θ, m3 m− 3) information for both management and
research has led to the development of a variety of soil water content sensors. In most cases …

Multisensor capacitance probes (MCAP) are an alternative to gravimetric or nuclear soil
water content (θv, m3 m− 3) measurements. Their θv measurements are more convenient …

Accurately measuring the dielectric constant of soil and modeling it during freezing and
thawing processes are important foundations of estimating the physical and chemical …

Soil mechanical impedance affects root growth and water flow, and controls nutrient and
contaminant transport below the rooting zone. Among the soil parameters affecting soil …

Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is the most widely used non-destructive, easily automated
method to determine water content of soils and other porous media. However, it should be …
