abstract:
This study focuses on dynamic soil water resources evaluated by the TDR soil moisture meter in selected experimental sites in central Poland. The analysis is based on field measurements of volumetric soil moisture conducted since 1995 till 2004. The portable Time Domain Reflectometry meter (Easy Test) is applied to track the characteristic stages of the soil water storage of shallow soil layers. Evolution of the soil moisture vertical profiles has been highlighted on seasonal time scale. The range of natural variability of soil water storage in ten years period was derived from the soil moisture profiles detected under extreme atmospheric conditions.
