Abstract
Abstract. The use of wireless sensor networks to measure soil
parameters eliminates the need to remove sensors for field operations, such
as tillage, thus allowing long-term measurements without multiple
disturbances to soil structure. Wireless sensors also reduce above-ground cables and the risk of undesired equipment damage and potential data loss.
However, implementing wireless sensor networks in field studies usually
requires advanced and costly engineering knowledge. This study presents a
new underground, wireless, open-source, low-cost system for monitoring soil
oxygen, temperature, and soil moisture. The process of system design,
assembly, programming, deployment, and power management is presented. The
system can be left underground for several years without the need to change the battery. Emphasis was given on modularity so that it can be
easily duplicated or changed if needed and deployed without previous engineering knowledge. Data from this type of system have a wide range of
applications, including precision agriculture and high-resolution modelling.
