Soil moisture profile measurements are an integral component of water balance estimation networks, especially in thick vadose zones and fine-grained soil environments. At field sites with silty and ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

Abstract: Recently, 2-frame interdigital fringe-field (ID-FF)-based capacitive sensors have been widely employed for soil moisture measurement. The present challenge with this design is to achieve ...

Abstract: Fiber Bragg Grating sensors (FBG) are employed to monitor the in-situ soil strain adjacent to the pile foundation that supports the machine, which produces harmonic vibrations. As they are ...

Determining the health of agricultural soil has traditionally been a slow, messy, and expensive process involving hazardous chemicals. But what if the answer was as simple as the shade of the dirt ...
