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
The water moving through your plants' ecosystem gives you critical information about plant health and lifecycle. We’ll help you measure multiple environmental parameters more efficiently, so you can gather more data to develop the insights you need.
Our research-grade sensors and instruments gather accurate measurements without adding unnecessary complexity to your project, streamlining your field data collection process. With METER’s economical measurement solutions, you can measure all the parameters that influence your soil-plant-atmosphere ecosystem, without exceeding your project’s budget. See how stomatal conductance, NDVI, PAR, and other canopy measurements can benefit from soil moisture or atmospheric data, and start collecting the complete picture of your canopy’s health.
Agronomy
Measuring plant stress, precipitation, and evapotranspiration throughout a canopy can tell you when and how much to irrigate your crops, and our sensors can help ensure 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, PAR, or stomatal conductance—requires instruments you can rely on. We design robust sensors and solutions to gather this data year after year to support long-term research programs.
