Soil density

Title and downloadTopicYear
https://bsssjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ejss.13542The RhoC portable gamma ray sensor was compared with traditional ring sampling in two Dutch agricultural fields with varied soil compaction.
Measurements across 30 profiles and 180 measurements showed relative uncertainties of 9% for Kopecky rings and 15% for RhoC, per field.
RhoC’s speed and ease allow for more measurements, enabling reliable bulk density assessment.
