Abstract: Topsoil and subsoil compaction decreased soil drainage capacity and potentially increased runoff, leading to more soil erosion and contaminant transport from agricultural fields to the environment. A cost-effective, non-destructive, large scale method to identify problematic drainage areas would be of practical interest for growers. The objective of this study was to investigate and characterize spatial heterogeneity of soil hydraulic properties at the field scale using GPR measurements. GPR data were acquired at two cranberry fields: one made of organic soil and the other one, of mineral soil.
