Study on Relation between Insar Coherence and Soil Moisture

Coherence is an important parameter to measure InSAR data quality in repeat-pass interferometry and soil moisture change can cause de-correlation. Relation between coherence and soil moisture was examined in this paper by using the ERS-1 interferometry pairs on Cangzhou area for which there are some heavy rain between the acquisition dates of the two images. The soil moisture is obtained based ...

Surface Residue and Soil Moisture Affect Fertilizer Loss in Simulated Runoff on a Heavy Clay Soil

The potential for non-point-source pollution of surface waters from agricultural lands continues to be a concern. Our objective was to determine the effect of surface residue management and fertilizer application timing in regards to soil moisture conditions on nutrient losses in runoff. Studies were conducted using a rainfall simulator that applied 125 mm h-1 for 3 h to an Austin (Udorthentic ...

Assessing Relation of Soil Hydrophobicity and Soil Water Content and Determining Threshold Moisture of Organic Soil Samples

Soil water content is the most effective factor associated with the hydrophobic and hydrophilic changes in a soil. Water repellency in soils, is not a permanent feature; it can be reached in the dry season and reduced or eliminated in the wet season It can be said that in terms of moisture, there is a critical region that is defined as the threshold moisture content, where in lower moisture, th...
