Monitoring hillslope moisture dynamics with surface ERT
Hillslopes are one of the basic units that mainly control water movement and flow pathways within catchments. The structure of their shallow subsurface affects water balance , e.g. infiltration, retention, and runoff. Nevertheless, there is still a gap of knowledge of the hydrological dynamics on hillslopes, notably due to the lack of generaliza-5 tion and transferability. To improve the knowle...
متن کاملExperimental Design for Soil Gas Radon Monitoring
Radon, the radioactive daughter product of the decay of has been the subject of scientific inquiry since its discovery in 1900 by DORN. 1 Because it is ubiquitous radium, initial in the environment, it has been studied as a means to better understand such diverse processes as earthquake precursors2 ' 3 atmospheric circulation patterns 4 , eruptive and non-eruptive volcanic processes5 , and grou...
متن کاملNitrogen cycling assessment in a hedgerow intercropping system using
Nitrogen (N) cycling was determined in monocultures of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench and alley cropped sorghum with Acacia saligna (Labill.) H. Wendl. in semiarid Northern Kenya. N input through biological N2 fixation of the acacia, N transfer from the legume to the intercrop and losses of applied N through harvest and 15 leaching were estimated using N enrichment. The biological N fixation and N...
متن کاملWireless Sensor Network Based Soil Moisture Monitoring System Design
Soil moisture is the amount of water in the soil. It plays a crucial role for efficient photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and transportation of minerals and other nutrients through the plant. Proper irrigation schedule is very critical to plant growth. This paper presents a soil moisture monitoring system which comprises of commercially available soil moisture sensor Decagon EC-5, low ...
متن کاملLow Cost Soil Moisture Monitoring System: A Capstone Design Project
Environmental monitoring is a significant driver for wireless sensor communication. Its potential to provide dynamic real-time data about monitored variable will enable to measure properties that have not previously been observable. A low cost consumer version soil moisture monitoring system was built using a gypsum block to take moisture readings, a peripheral interface controller (PIC) with a...
