| description | Seasonal dynamics in edaphic humidity are influenced by different environmental factors, such as topography, physical and chemical soil conditions, type of vegetation cover and climatic classification. Data from 105 agrometeorological stations in the IDEAM network, distributed throughout Colombia, with records from January, 2001 to April, 2020, were studied. A non-parametric Spearman rank correlation test was used to evaluate the relationship between soil moisture and atmospheric variables. Simultaneously, the behaviors of seasonal dynamics were analyzed, along with their interaction with atmospheric, physical soil and vegetation cover variables. The results showed that soil moisture is more significantly influenced by frequency than by intensity of precipitation; this variable had a seasonal behavior, similar to that of precipitation. The physical variable texture was closely related to the behavior of the soil surface moisture (<10 cm deep). In addition, there was evidence of a surface moisture response to the physical conditions of the soil, topography and availability of plant cover. As the soil depth increased, the soil moisture had less variation because the influence of the atmospheric conditions was greater on the surface and persisted longer over time. |

La dinámica estacional de la humedad edáfica está influenciada por diferentes factores ambientales, como la topografía, las condiciones físicas y químicas del suelo, el tipo de cobertura vegetal y la clasificación climática. Se estudiaron los datos de 105 estaciones agrometeorológicas de la red del IDEAM, distribuidas en Colombia, con registros desde enero de 2001 hasta abril de 2020. Se utilizó una prueba no paramétrica de correlación de rangos de Spearman para evaluar la relación entre la humedad del suelo y las variables atmosféricas. Simultáneamente, se analizó el comportamiento de la dinámica estacional, así como su interacción con las variables atmosféricas, físicas del suelo y de la cobertura vegetal. Los resultados mostraron que la humedad del suelo está significativamente influenciada por la frecuencia que por la intensidad de las precipitaciones, esta variable tuvo un comportamiento estacional, similar al de la precipitación. La variable física textura estuvo estrechamente relacionada con el comportamiento de la humedad superficial del suelo (<10 cm de profundidad). Además, se evidenció una respuesta de la humedad superficial a las condiciones físicas del suelo, la topografía y la disponibilidad de cobertura vegetal; a mayor profundidad la humedad presenta menor influencia de las condiciones atmosféricas en superficie y una mayor persistencia de la variable.
