Fig. 2. Measured bulk electrical conductivity ({sigma}a) plotted against the dielectric constant (Ka) measured during one drainage experiment in the Odarslöv topsoil with a soil solution electrical conductivity of 2.90 dS m-1. The solid line is the regression line with parameters according to Table 3.

Fig. 3. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) measured bulk electrical conductivity ({sigma}a) plotted against the {sigma}a predicted using the TDR measured {theta} and Eq. [5] with the best-fit parameters obtained using all soil solution electrical conductivities in the Värpinge subsoil (see Table 4).

Fig. 4. Soil solution electrical conductivity ({sigma}w) plotted against the dielectric constant (Ka) measured during one of the drainage experiment in the Revinge topsoil using Sigma probe (SP) and time domain reflectometry (TDR). The average {sigma}w measured in the extracted water was 3.00 dS m-1 in this experiment.
