Integrated sensing of soil moisture at the field-scale: Measuring, modeling and sharing for improved agricultural decision support
Measured field-scale soil moisture variability under semi-arid/dry-land conditions. Tracked soil moisture in relation to crop cover, precipitation and evaporation. Utilized SensorML for describing the deployed sensor system and components. Evaluated Sensor Observation Service for operational long-term data access. Provided recommendations for improving wireless sensor monitoring of soil moisture.
