abstract = {Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has shown a high potential
to derive soil water content (SWC) at different scales. In
this study, we combined multiple horizontal GPR measurements
at different depths to investigate the spatial and temporal
variability of the SWC under cropped plots. The SWC data
were analyzed for four growing seasons between 2014 and
2017, two soil types (gravelly and clayey–silty), two
crops (wheat [Triticum aestivum L.] and maize [Zea mays
L.]), and three different water treatments. We acquired more
than 150 time-lapse GPR datasets along 6-m-long horizontal
crossholes at six depths. The GPR SWC distributions are
distinct both horizontally and vertically for both soil
types. A clear change in SWC can be observed at both sites
between the surface layer (>0.3 m) and subsoil. Alternating
patches of higher and lower SWC, probably caused by the soil
heterogeneity, were observed along the horizontal SWC
profiles. To investigate the changes in SWC with time, GPR
and time-domain reflectometry (TDR) data were averaged for
each depth and compared with changes in precipitation,
treatment, and soil type. The high-temporal-resolution TDR
and the large-sampling-volume GPR show similar trends in SWC
for both sites, but because of the different sensing
volumes, different responses were obtained due to the
spatial heterogeneity. A difference in spatial variation of
the crosshole GPR SWC data was detected between maize and
wheat. The results for this 4-yr period indicate the
potential of this novel experimental setup to monitor
spatial and temporal SWC changes that can be used to study
soil–plant–atmosphere interactions.},
