abstract = {We strive to assess soil water content on a well-studied
slow-moving hillslope in Austria. In doing so, we employ
time lapse mapping of bulk electrical conductivity using a
geophysical electromagnetic induction system operated at low
induction numbers. This information is complemented by the
acquisition of soil samples for gravimetric water content
analysis during one survey campaign. Simple visual soil
sample analysis reveals that the upper material in the
survey area is a spatially highly variable mixture of
predominately sandy, silty, clayey and organic materials.
Due to this heterogeneity, classical approaches of mapping
soil moisture on the basis of stationary mapping of
electrical conductivity variations are not successful. Also
the time-lapse approach does not allow ruling out some of
the ambiguity inherent to the linkage of bulk electrical
conductivity to soil water content. However, indication is
found that time-lapse measurements may have supportive
capabilities to identify regions of low precipitation
infiltration due to high soil saturation. Furthermore, the
relationship between the mean electrical conductivity
averaged over a full vegetation period and an already
available ecological moisture map produced by vegetation
analysis is found to resemble closely the relationship
observed between gravimetric soil water content and
electrical conductivity during the time of sample collection
except for highly organic soils. This leads us to the
assumption that the relative soil moisture distribution is
temporarily stable except for those areas characterized by
highly organic soils},
