Dear Dardo:
Last summer I conducted a research project where I monitored the soil water
content and soil heat temperature at 0 (soil surface) 10, 20, 40, 70 and
110 cm below the soil surface every 5 minutes for several months.  Soil
temperature was monitored in the open and under citrus tree canopy at the
same depths.  The main objective of my study was to quantify the effect of
soil temperature on capacitance probe readings.  I presented part of my
results in the last Soil Science Society of America annual meeting in Salt
Lake City, Utah (http://www.soils.org/).  I am in the process of writing a
manuscript about the study; however, we might work out someting together if
you are interested.  
Sincerely,
