Rapid Moisture Measurements in Thin Sand Slabs

Bell, J.; Selker, J.S.; Steenhuis, T.S.; Glass, R.J.

The theoretical basis for the relationship between moisture content and light transmission (FFM) is developed, and shown to correspond well to the observed behavior. A calibration procedure for FFM based on the relationship between moisture content and matric potential is presented and tested. Means of expanding the range of sensitivity of the FFM are discussed.
