Short summary
Sustainable management schemes in agriculture require knowledge of site-specific soil hydrological processes, especially the interplay between soil heterogeneities and crops. We disentangled such effects on soil moisture in a diversified arable field with different crops and management schemes by applying a principal component analysis. The main effects on soil moisture variability were quantified. Meteorological drivers, followed by different seasonal behaviour of crops, had the largest impact.
