relatively constant values
were detected between 4-July and 15-September (weeks 122–
125). Compared to the initial conditions of the week 0, relative
changes of BDw increased by an average of about 10% (+11% < RC
< +13%). Since temporal evolution of BDw greatly depends on the
temporal changes of soil water content, the choice to measure dry
bulk density, rb, would have been appropriate. However, BDw was
estimated at the same soil wetness value using TDR probes
