Key points:

  • Passive and non-invasive gamma-ray spectrometry methods provided radionuclide concentrations at tens-of-meters scale

  • Volumetric soil moisture was estimated from apparent radionuclide concentrations at three sites having various soil and land cover types

  • Accurate soil moisture time-series with an average root-mean-squared-error of 0.036 [-] were estimated.
