The objective of this work was to characterize the spatial variability of soil electrical resistivity due to different soil moisture contents, in an integrated agricultural system. Soil electrical resistivity (ER) was measured with the Automatic Resistivity Profiling (ARP) contact sensor in two dates, in 2016, in a 9.7-ha area with different soil moisture contents. The obtained maps indicated that ER allowed delimiting the regions within the study area and pointing out differences in the movement and accumulation of water in the soil horizons. Although there is a trend of reduction in ER values with increasing soil moisture, the spatial correlation structure of ER is similar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
