Cross-section view of each soil core illustrating the placement of instrumentation. TDR probes were located at approximately 0.2, 0.4, 0.55, 0.75, 1.05, 1.45, 2.0 m beneath the soil surface. Mini-rhizotron placements were at approximately 0.2, 0.4, 0.65, 0.9, 1.45 and 2.05 m beneath the soil surface. The two mini-rhizotron tubes closest to the soil surface were installed in 2003 and were accessible by a vertical riser using a flexible endoscope.
