Coconut fibers, sourced from the husk of coconuts, are gaining popularity for their ability to make soil retain moisture. This natural material works particularly well for tropical plants that ...

Soil moisture loss is a critical component of many models of larger Earth systems, such as precipitation feedback, carbon cycle, and solar energy partitioning.

The calibration process involved comparing data from capacitive sensors with soil moisture content measured continuously by the volumetric water content (VWC) method. The results showed that sensor ...
