A dielectric model based on the refractive dielectric model of the mixture of thawed and frozen forest organic soils in the root zone for a frequency of 435 MHz has been developed. The model is created on the basis of dielectric measurements of four soils whose organic matter content varies in the range from 15 to 31%. The dielectric measurements are carried out in the range of the gravimetric moisture from 0 to 0.6 g/g and temperature range from –30 to 25°C. The coefficient of determination (R2) between values calculated by the model and measured values of the real (ε') and imaginary (ε'') parts of complex dielectric permittivity is 0.97. The normalized root-mean-square error is 16 and 21% for the real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric permittivity, respectively. This dielectric model may be applied in remote sensing algorithms when retrieving the value of forest soil moisture in the root zone from radar and radiometric data.
