To date no experimental technique has been capable of directly and repetitively measuring
spatial distributions of soil water content in a non-destructive manner. The potential of …

Publisher Summary Application of computer-assisted tomography to X-and y-ray attenuation
measurements has provided an exciting new method for nondestructive imaging within a …

Continuous nondestructive measurements of the spatial distributions of soil water content
and bulk density are essential prerequisites to the resolution of many problems in the study …

The evaluation of dynamic, small-scale transport processes has alluded scientists due to a
lack of adequate non-destructive measurement techniques. Water and solute transport …

Previous work of Petrovic et al.(1982) demonstrated the possibility of using x-ray
transmission, computed tomography (CT) scanning for soil bulk density analysis in soil. We …

Until recently, techniques for direct measurements on roots and soil water in the rooting
zone have been largely destructive, or simply lacked the spatial resolution necessary for …

Minimal information has been garnered regarding the spatial distribution of soil water in
relation to pores and the soil matrix. Destructive layer-by-layer reconstructions derived from …

Application of computer assisted tomography to x‐ray attenuation measurements has been
used to study the drawdowns in soil‐water content associated with single plant roots …

Root water uptake is one of the essential processes within the soil–plant–atmosphere
continuum. We present a method for monitoring soil‐water redistributions due to water …

Computed tomography (Ct) is a promising tool that may help provide measurements needed
to obtain finer resolution in soil‐water content and bulk density for water uptake studies or …
