Effect of Vegetation Biomass on Emissivity of Loam Soil
Arun Sharma, K. C. Pancholi
Abstract :
Real and Imaginary parts of the complex Dielectric Permittivity (ε \' and ε \' \' ) of Loam soil have been measured in the frequency range 150 MHz - 2.4 GHz using a Vector Network Analyzer at varied moisture contents and vegetation biomass. The Emissivity of the soil for normal incidence is calculated from measured values of complex permittivity. The measured permittivity data shows strong dependence on moisture content as expected. At a given microwave frequency, the emissivity of the soil was observed to decrease with increase in moisture level, but it increases with increase in vegetation biomass in the soil.
