At the watershed scale, soil moisture is the major control for rainfall–runoff response,
especially where saturation excess runoff processes dominate. From the ecological point of …

Applications of ground penetrating radar (GPR) in soil surveys promise cost and time
benefits together with the possibility of repeating surveys at the same locations due to the …

Two ground penetrating radar (GPR) techniques were used to estimate the shallow soil
water content at the field scale. The first technique is based on the ground wave velocity …

We analyze the common surface reflection and full‐wave inversion methods to retrieve the
soil surface dielectric permittivity and correlated water content from air‐launched ground …

Information on the spatiotemporal variability of soil properties and states within the
agricultural landscape is vital to identify management zones supporting precision agriculture …

The volumetric water content (VWC) of soil is a critical parameter in agriculture, as VWC
strongly influences crop yield, provides nutrients to plants, and maintains the microbes that …

Very few researchers have developed numerical models of ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
that include realistic descriptions of both the antennas and the subsurface. This is essential …

In what has become almost a tradition for Vadose Zone Journal, this special section, Soil
Water Sensing, follows two related special sections: Advances in Measurement and …

The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlighted the importance
of adopting sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate the threat posed by climate change …

Accurate characterization of near-surface soil water content is vital for guiding agricultural
management decisions and for reducing the potential negative environmental impacts of …
