The objective of this study was to evaluate two apparent soil electrical conductivity (EC_a) sensors (DUALEM 1S and VERIS 3100) for mapping soil property variability in a Mediterranean shallow soil. The EC_a data from the top 0-0.30 m soil layer were used. Soil spatial variability of a 6 ha experimental field was characterized by 76 samples geo-referenced with GPS. The results of the DUALEM sensor showed significant correlation coefficients between EC_a and the relative field elevation (RFE), bedrock depth, pH, sand, silt and soil moisture content. On the other hand, significant correlation coefficients were found between the EC_a measured by VÃRIS sensor and pH, sand, clay, organic matter and soil moisture content. This paper discusses possible reasons for the somewhat different behaviour of the two sensors.
