This open access book provides methods for the estimation of Biomass Water Equivalent (BEW), an essential step for improving the accuracy of area-wide soil moisture by cosmic-ray neutron sensors (CRNS). Three techniques are explained in detail: (i) traditional in-situ destructive sampling, (ii) satellite based remote sensing of plant surfaces, and (iii) biomass estimation via the use of the CRNS itself. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed along with step by step instructions on proper procedures and implementation. 000838534 542__ $$aThis book is published open access under a CC BY 3.0 IGO license. 000838534 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 12, 2018). 000838534 650_0 $$aSoil moisture$$xMeasurement$$xRemote sensing. 000838534 650_0 $$aSoil moisture$$xMeasurement$$xInstruments. 000838534 650_0 $$aSoil moisture$$xMathematical models. 000838534 650_0 $$aAgricultural innovations. 000838534 650_0 $$aCosmic ray neutrons. 000838534 7001_ $$aHeng, L.
