The team is measuring many different parameters and Van Walt has supplied them with a two Trime Pico TDR systems with a soil moisture tube probe to profile moisture in 24 plots. Our Macro and Micro Rhizon Soil Solution samplers will also be widely deployed. Vincent spent a day on site with the team helping set up the new equipment before the intensive monitoring programme begins.
