Soil moisture (SM) is a key hydrologic state variable that is of significant importance for
numerous Earth and environmental science applications that directly impact the global …

The most common method for in situ assessment of soil salinity, namely the electrical
conductivity (EC) of the soil solution (ECw), is to measure the apparent electrical conductivity …

The field-scale application of apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) to agriculture has its
origin in the measurement of soil salinity, which is an arid-zone problem associated with …

Due in large measure to the prodigious research efforts of Rhoades and his colleagues at
the George E. Brown, Jr., Salinity Laboratory over the past two decades, soil electrical …

Non-destructive measurement of soil water content and electrical conductivity has been
desired for many years. Recent development of time domain reflectometry (TDR) enables us …

Our understanding of short‐and long‐term dynamics of spatial soil moisture patterns is
limited due to measurement constraints. Using new highly detailed data, this research aims …

Hydraulic redistribution (HR)–the movement of water from moist to dry soil through plant
roots–occurs worldwide within a range of different ecosystems and plant species. The …

Wireless sensor networks are a promising new in situ measurement technology for
monitoring soil water content changes with a high spatial and temporal resolution for large …

The soil-freezing characteristic, the relationship between unfrozen water content and
temperature, is relevant for any mass transfer processes in frozen porous media. To …

Many environmental and hydrological applications require knowledge about soil moisture.
Its measurement accuracy is known to depend on the sensor technique, which is sensitive to …
