Using Capacitance Sensors for the Continuous Measurement of the Water Content in the Litter Layer of Forest Soil
Little is known about the wetting and drying processes of the litter layer (L layer), likely because of technical difficulties inherent in nondestructive water content (WC) monitoring. We developed a method for continuously measuring the WC of leaf litter (the “LWC method”) in situ using capacitance...
