Soil moisture serves as the direct water source for plant growth. Its content directly affects plants’ absorption of water, organic matter, and other nutrients, which in turn determines the growth status of plants. Mastering the energy state and dynamic changes of soil water is crucial for effective soil management and water conservancy project control. The Soil Moisture Monitor is an important tool to achieve this goal, providing necessary parameter support for relevant work.
This system has the advantage of flexible and diverse configurations. Based on differences in monitoring needs, scenarios, and scales, its components can be reasonably combined and adjusted. Whether it is local monitoring of small experimental fields or large-scale monitoring of large farmlands and ecological areas, it can meet diverse monitoring requirements by adapting to different quantities and specifications of components.
Moreover, the installation process is simple and convenient, requiring no complex professional operations. Staff can complete the installation after basic guidance. The system can be placed in the field for a long time, adapting to complex field environmental conditions—including temperature changes, humidity fluctuations, wind and rain erosion—and maintaining continuous and stable operation. During long-term monitoring, the system can accurately detect changes in soil moisture and water potential, providing precise and continuous information support for studying the dynamic laws of soil water.
In terms of composition, the Soil Moisture Monitor consists of a data logger, as well as soil moisture sensors, soil water potential sensors, and other components. Among them, the data logger is responsible for collecting, storing, and transmitting data, and can integrate and process the soil moisture and water potential information obtained by the sensors; the soil moisture sensor is specially used to monitor the moisture content in the soil, while the soil water potential sensor focuses on the energy state of soil water. These three components together provide a reliable basis for formulating soil management strategies and regulating water conservancy projects.
