Soil Moisture Sensor Evaluation in Rangeland by Himakshi Choudhury is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The sensors accurately measured soil moisture after applying a linear regression to match their readings with gravimetric samples. Sensors at 5 cm and 15 cm responded quickly to large rain events, while the 30 cm sensor showed a delayed response. The optimal sampling interval was around 5 minutes for the shallow sensors during rain, and 30 minutes or more when dry, to collect useful data without loss of quality. Soil water redistributed from the surface to 30 cm in summer and to 15 cm in winter, according t
