Parameter to be measured:

Soil moisture

Method:

Capacitance

Equipment:

EC-10 (ECH2O)

Advantages:

  • Relatively cheap
  • Easy to install
  • Compatible with many loggers

Disadvantages:

  • Only for low salinity soils (Decagon has developed newer ECH2O probes that are less sensitive to salinity issues, e.g. the EC-5)

What to watch out for:

  • Temperature sensitivity

Problems/Questions:
