Description:

Abstract:

The Real-Time Soil Moisture Monitoring Network provides integrated observation of water, energy and temperature in the soils of the Shale Hills Susquehanna Critical Zone Observatory watershed.  Dialetric Constant is measured at 4 depths at 2 sites. Imaginary Dialetric Constant is measured with HydraProbes manufactured by Stevens Instruments.

Supplemental_Information:

The Susquehanna Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) is a forested, small, temperate-climate catchment in central Pennsylvania in which the regolith is developing upon homogeneous shale. The purpose of the observatory and associated interdisciplinary research is to quantitatively predict the creation, evolution, and structure of regolith as a function of the geochemical, hydrologic, biologic, and geomorphologic processes operating in a temperate, forested landscape.
