RAPID PERCOLATION OF WATER THROUGH SOIL MACROPORES AFFECTS READING AND CALIBRATION OF LARGE ENCAPSULATED TDR SENSORS

Rapid percolation of water through soil macropores affects reading and calibration of large encapsulated TDR sensors

The electromagnetic soil water content sensors are invaluable tools because of their selective sensitivity to water, versatility, ease of automation Collections and large resolution.A common drawback of most their types is their preferential sensitivity to water near to their surfaces.The ways in which the drawback manifests itself were explored fo
