摘要: Scientific research and control technology of soil erosion both rely on accurate and efficient soil erosion measurements. Based on the principles of locating interfaces in layered media and measuring dielectric properties by time domain reflectometry (TDR), we developed TDR-based measurement of changes in the air-soil interface along the TDR probe for soil erosion measurement, and simultaneously measuring volumetric soil moisture content (θv). Part of a three-rod TDR probe was inserted in the soil and the rest exposed to air, so changes in the air-soil interface could be denoted by changes in the length of exposed probe (Lair). TDR waveforms were analyzed using a combination of tangent line method and second-order bounded mean oscillation methods to identify time points at positions of impedance discontinuity in electromagnetic propagation, then converting these data to Lair and θv by calibrated equations. According to the laboratory experiment using sandy loam and silt loam, Lair could be effectively measured within a wide soil moisture range by the calibrated equation and the thickness of the eroded soil layer could thus be determined. The RMSE of θv measurement ranged between 0.003 and 0.025 cm3 cm-3, which enabled the identification of the appropriate soil moisture range for measuring Lair, and achieve reliable simultaneous measurement of soil erosion and soil moisture content. The simulated rainfall experiment using sandy loam and silt loam and field scouring experiment conducted in loam also indicated that the proposed method could achieve high measurement accuracy in erosion environments, for which Lair with the RMSE from 1.8 to 2.1 mm and θv with the RMSE from 0.007 to 0.024 cm3 cm-3. The proposed method has various advantages, including versatility, minimal disturbance, easy automation of measurement at multiple positions, etc., could serve as a new technical option for soil erosion measurement, and extend the utilization of TDR.
