Water is strongly bound to particle surfaces. The dielectric constant increases slowly because this "strongly bound water" cannot rotate freely in response to an electromagnetic field.
Microwave Dielectric Behavior of Wet Soil-Part 1 - IEEE Xplore Microwave Dielectric Behaviour of Wet Soils
Act as a stable background with a low dielectric constant. Water is strongly bound to particle surfaces
Focuses on the "transition moisture" concept to distinguish between bound and free water. most water turns to ice
Affects the viscosity and relaxation time of water molecules. In frozen soils, most water turns to ice, causing a sharp drop in the dielectric constant, though a small fraction of "unfrozen water" may remain liquid even at -24°C.
