Soil moisture data from Glenwood Springs indicates that soils weren’t as dry last summer as they were in 2021. That station also showed that soils were holding a monthly average of 0.15 cubic meters ...

A new study in collaboration with Oregon State University finds moisture plays a key role in soil’s ability to store carbon.

Doing so involved using a tripod-mounted Nikon D5300 DSLR to take photos of the monitored soil from a variety of distances (1 to 5 m/3.3 to 16.4 ft), at different times of day, in both sunny and ...

Implementation of LoRaWAN-based soil moisture sensing device. (Credit: Maja Škiljo et al., 2022) Although we generally think of Internet of Things (IoT) and similar devices as things that are ...

In a way, the magic of a soil moisture sensor’s functionality boils down to a simple RC circuit. But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how … ...

Soil moisture sensors can help farmers save water, by letting them know when their crops actually need to be watered. A new sensor could be particularly helpful, as it incorporates a special ...

A pioneering method for soil moisture retrieval using satellite navigation systems has been introduced, significantly boosting the accuracy and efficiency of global data collection.

AGCI now has 10 stations covering the major elevation zones and ecosystems present in the Roaring Fork Valley. The stations, known as the Interactive Roaring Fork Observation Network (iRON), gather ...

Moisture-driven divergence in mineral-associated soil carbon persistence. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023; 120 (7) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2210044120 ...

Soil moisture in the basin is about 70% of the long-term median, said Brian Stevens, water operations supervisor with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Upper Snake Field Office in Heyburn.
