| Description | At the moment, a new sensor is under development to estimate soil bulk density. However, we have a limited validation dataset for the bulk density sensor. The more dense and very loose soils are missing. The aim would be to gather that data and perform a validation study on the bulk density sensor. This should include an analysis on practical application of the sensor versus other measurement methods for bulk density. If possible including repeated measurements of the same soil with different moisture conditions. |
