Classification: CPC C  G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method of monitoring microbial activity between different locations in a natural environment, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a reference electrode;
providing a network of a plurality of arrays in the natural environment, each array of the plurality of arrays comprising at least ten inert measurement electrodes;
for each array of the plurality of arrays, measuring a high impedance voltage between the reference electrode and each of the at least ten inert measurement electrodes of the array to monitor microbial activity; and
comparing a total signal information of each array of the plurality of arrays to characterize microbial activity between the different locations in the natural environment,
wherein microorganisms form a biofilm that is attached to each of the at least ten inert measurement electrodes of each array, and
wherein the high impedance voltage is greater than 100 megaohms.
