- Abstract
It was shown by capillarimetric and dielcometric methods that Linear relationships exist between the capacitance of soils and their volumetric water content. The coefficients of proportionality in these relationships abruptly decreased upon the disturbance of the soil structure: when the volumetric water content of soils decreased by two times, their capacitance decreased by 7-15 pF for soils with a natural structure and by only 1-2 pF for soils with a degraded structure. Therefore, the proportionality coefficients in these relationships could be used as criteria for assessing the structural state of soils.
