Abstract:BackgroundThe current transformation of the entire energy system leads to a large‐scale expansion of extra‐high‐voltage underground transmission lines (UTL). Knowledge of the impact on soil temperature and soil moisture dynamics is fundamental for environmental evaluation.AimsWe investigated the impact of an existing 320 kV underground cable in continuous operation on soil temperature and moisture dynamics.MethodsA soil‐monitoring programme was established at four study sites in Western Germany. Data were cont… Show more
