Abstract

Information on the amount of water held by woodchips in the field is needed to assess environmental risks when they are kept in stockpiles or for inferring their efficiency as denitrifying bioreactors. Reflectometry is a widely used method for estimating volumetric water content (θ) in permeable media, but material-specific calibration functions should be developed. The equations developed in this study are well suited for field applications as they cover a wider range of θ than previously published functions and they are applicable within the range of T found in field applications.
