Scientists used a wireless sensor network to study soil moisture in a grassland area in Germany. They looked at how soil properties affect soil moisture stability over time. By analyzing data from 83 locations, they found that the speed at which water moves through the soil (Ks) is the most important factor in determining soil moisture stability.
