... to inversely estimate van Genuchten–Mualem parameters from infrared-measured SST and time domain reflectometry (TDR)-measured water contents. This approach was tested using synthetic and real data, collected during September 2008 from a harrowed silty loam field plot in Selhausen, Germany. The synthetic data...

From 2008 onward, a network of Terrestrial Environmental Observatories (TERENO) has been established in Germany as an interdisciplinary research program that aims to observe and explore the long-term ecological, social, and economic impacts of global change...

.... (2010) . Three trapezoidal bare soil plots, between 12 and 8 m wide and 28 m long, were prepared for measurements within the Selhausen test site of the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, (50°52′8.6″ N, 06° 27′57.2″ E), which is part of the TERENO Rur Observatory ( Zacharias et al., 2011 ).

The soil type is a Haplic Luvisol developed in silt loam according to the USDA textural classification ( Weihermüller et al., 2007 ). A 33...

... of sensors may be required to obtain a representative estimate. We obtained data sets from the facility to estimate the spatial variability and the representativeness of the spatial averages of soil moisture and root densities.
