Re: Organic Matter X TDR calibration



Dear Wenceslau,

You should also look at:

JACOBSEN, O. H.; SCHJONNING, P. A laboratory calibration of time domain
reflectometry for soil water measurement including effects of bulk density and
texture. Journal of Hydrology, v. 151, p. 147-157, 1993.

I think it will be nice for you.

In my soil conditions  I have some problems concerning to the  bulk density
and texture effects. The soil is a latossol with 60% of clay and 18% of iron
oxide. The water absorsion of the particle is very large difficulting the
equipment measurement. Your problem can be similar to this situation.
Hope I could help you. Any more questions send me a e-mail.
Best Regards,
Claudinei.
