University of Iowa snags $500K to expand monitoring system that will help communities, emergency managers, farmers better ...

An Italian research team has developed a 121-sensor monitoring platform for agrivoltaic greenhouses, integrating PV ...

Researchers are using soil moisture levels to better predict the location and severity of wildfires. In Arizona, soil moisture sensors are being installed to provide real-time data for land managers ...

This package deliberately excludes the author's patent-facing dielectric-model implementation and any code that encodes the proprietary organic-matter-aware permittivity correction. The package is ...

New moisture-monitoring technology is being deployed in Arizona to help predict flooding and prevent destructive wildfires. Salt River Project crews are burying soil sensors in the Tonto National ...

Soils that are exposed to prolonged drought often develop desiccation cracks, which impact soil properties and exacerbate moisture loss through evapotranspiration. Now, a study from the University of ...

This shows a new PHBV degradation sensor. The silver/grey strips are the biodegradable conductive elements that soil microbes nibble on. New degradable sensors could reveal insights into the secret, ...
