摘要: A b s t r a c t. Determination of soil water content using the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) method is recently considered modern and widely used. The practical application TDR requires its calibration ie determination relationship between dielectric constant volumetric moisture soil. paper presents development ofcalibration equations for range different peat types (willow peat, sedge-moss, reed sedge-reed) from Biebrza river valley. Undisturbed samples were used in procedure. measured simultaneously during calibration. study showed that bulk density substantially affects relation soils. empirical equation accounting values ranging 0.08 to 0.25 g cm -3 was found.
