Forest plot soil moisture estimation using the cosmic-ray neutron (CRN) method and gamma-ray spectrometry (GRS)	Poster presented at the AGU 2021 conference. Highlights: In forests, the water input to the ground is highly variable resulting in an uneven soil water content. Methods for estimating soil moisture at forest plot scale are necessary to understand the forest water budget. Gamma-ray spectrometry (GRS) can be used to estimate soil moisture using the procedure presented by Baldoncini et al. (2018). Soil moisture can be estimated for several depths using GRS measurements.	2021	AGU2021_FINAL.pdf
