dielectric permittivity change caused by the change of its temperature for mineral<br />

soils of variable texture and bulk electrical conductivity. The developed model<br />

will help to interpret the influence of selected soil physical parameters on its<br />

dielectric properties and will be used in calibration of soil water content and<br />

conductivity reflectometric meters.<br />

7.2. Temperature effect of dielectric permittivity of soil free water<br />

Corrections of the TDR determined water content data related to the<br />

temperature effect of dielectric permittivity of free water was examined in<br />

and dθ/dn is the derivative of TDR calibration function. Another correction<br />

suggested in Pepin et al. [74] adjusted the TDR determined soil water content,<br />

θ TDR , readout by 0.00175θ TDR /ºC. The both corrections did not reflect the<br />

influence of soil texture on the observed temperature effect.<br />

It is evident (Halbertsma et al.[36], Pepin et al. [74]) that the physical<br />

processes involving other soil phases apart from only the liquid phase should be<br />

taken into account when interpreting the temperature effect on the soil ε b .<br />

Applying 3-phase soil model and assuming that the refractive indexes of soil<br />

solid and air phases do not significantly depend on temperature, the soil refractive<br />

index n T may be expressed in function of temperature as:<br />
