The Hardware Stack for Forest Environmental Testing: Sensors, Instruments, and Field Deployment

Forest environmental monitoring is a hardware problem as much as a software one. The sensors need to work in wet, humid, remote environments. The instruments need to be accurate enough for scientific and regulatory use. And the connectivity needs to work where there is no WiFi, no power, and sometimes no cellular signal. Here is a breakdown of the full hardware stack used in professional forest environmental testing — from individual field instruments to integrated IoT deployments. Soil assessm...
