Discussion of 'Soil Moisture Measurements: Comparison of Instrumentation Performances'

摘要

Ventura et al. document the comparison of electromagnetic sensors during wetting-drying cycles in two soils, a clay loam and a loam. The, sensors included in the study were two capacitance type sensors, the models EC-20 and EC-5 (Decagon Devices, Pullman, WA), and the model CS616 water content reflectometer (Campbell Scientific, Logan, UT), which is incorrectly described as a time domain reflectometry (TDR) device.
