Explore the correlation between soil moisture levels and evapotranspiration rates using sensor network data. Recent findings suggest potential insights into the drying patterns of shallow soil layers. Proposed methods aim to deepen understanding by incorporating neutron probe and DVZ data, and examining the impact of climate and harvest activities on evapotranspiration.

Linking sensor network observationsMatt Meadows Prior aims methods • Site measurements of soil moisture • Instrument Cluster and CZTrees
Linking sensor network observations Recent results/findings • Rate of ET may be lower • Shallow soil drying at same rate
Linking sensor network observations Proposed aims/methods • How deep does this relationship hold? • Incorporate neutron probe and DVZ data • Reduced ET from climate or harvest? • Use Soaproot ET • COSMOS as a veg moisture detector? • “Ecosystem-scale measurements of biomass water using cosmic ray neutrons”, T Franz et al. 2013 GRL. • Verify COSMOS drying with IC.
