Piñon Pine: Studying the effects of climate change on drought tolerance
Henry Adams, a PhD student at the University of Arizona, is studying the effect of climate change and drought on Piñon Pines.
Plant science
METER research-grade sensors and instruments gather accurate measurements without adding unnecessary complexity, streamlining your data collection, without exceeding your budget. To see which measurement system fits your needs, choose your application below.
Agronomy
Measuring plant stress, precipitation, and evapotranspiration with METER environmental sensors can tell you when and how much to irrigate your crops, ensuring better yields and better plant health.
Plant breeding
Plants are an integral part of every ecosystem, and breeding for drought tolerance and hardiness requires a combination of soil, meteorological, and leaf measurements to ensure the right varieties are advanced and resources are not wasted on bad selections.
Ecology and ecophysiology
Comprehensively assessing ecosystem parameters—like leaf-area index, NDVI, weather, soil moisture, stomatal conductance, and more—requires instruments you can rely on. We design robust sensors and solutions to gather environmental data year after year to support long-term research programs.
"Of all of the soil sensors we tested, the TEROS 12 not only provided the most accurate readings, but now in production they have also survived our vigorous process. Outstanding product!"
