Paper Summary

Researchers tested using digital image analysis to determine soil moisture levels based on soil color. They used five types of soil with varying moisture levels and spread them in trays. The soil was saturated with water and then left to dry before the experiment. The main goal was to see if soil color could accurately indicate soil moisture levels.
