Soil temperature sensors are in situ ground-based sensors used to measure and monitor soil temperature. They measure soil temperature by using thermistors or thermocouples to detect changes in resistance to calculate the temperature. Soil temperature sensors are used for agricultural purposes, environmental monitoring, and ecological research.
