Bound water dependence in Arctic soils on the organic content and temperature, obtained by dielectric spectroscopy
Based on the measuring dielectric constant spectra for a number of thawed and frozen arctic organic soils, the maximum of bound water ( M<sub>g</sub><sub>1</sub>) and the maximum of bound and transitional waters ( M<sub>g</sub><sub>2</sub>) were investigated as a function of organic matter and temperature. As a result, the empirical expressions for calculating parameters M<sub>g</sub><sub>1</sub>, M<sub>g</sub><sub>2</sub> at the temperatures range from -30 to 25 ºC with organic matter content from 30 to 90 % were obtained.
