Time-domain and Frequency-domain Reflectometry Type Soil Moisture Sensor Performance and Soil Temperature Effects in Fine- and Coarse-textured Soils
The performances of six time-domain reflectometry (TDR) and frequency-domain reflectometry (FDR) type
soil moisture sensors were investigated for measuring volumetric soil-water content in two different soil types. Soil-specific calibration equations were developed for each sensor using calibrated neutron probe-measured volumetric soil-water content. Sensors were also investigated for their performance response in measuring volumetric soil-water content to changes in soil temperature.

Upcoming Collections
Evapotranspiration Symposium
Organizer: Devendra Amatya
The collection will be based on presentations at the upcoming 2nd ASABE Global Evapotranspiration Symposium to be held at Nanjing, China (Postponed).
Forest Ecohydrologic Modeling
Organizer: Devendra Amatya
Effectiveness of Agricultural Conservation Practices on Water Pollutant Reduction
Organizers: Yongping Yuan, Ruth Book, Kyle R. Douglas-Mankin
This collection will invite experts to review published studies that evaluate effectiveness of important conservation practices to reduce nutrient losses (including losses due to sediment transport) from agricultural fields.
Invited review articles will: (1) compare and integrate results from studies conducted in different settings and site conditions to obtain a systematic understanding of the mitigation efficacy of each reviewed conservation practice; (2) obtain general insights from the showcased studies on the performance-based costs of conservation practices; (3) develop recommendations for prioritizing cost-effective conservation practices when funding agencies are developing their programs; and (4) collect defensible data to support and update the technical content in NRCS conservation practice standards and to help document the magnitude of nutrient reduction efforts nationwide.
