Accurate measurement of soil moisture is critical for precision agriculture, especially measuring with the Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensor networks for real-time soil monitoring. However, soil organic-derived amendments such as biochar can significantly alter soil physical and dielectric properties, potentially affecting the calibration and performance of soil moisture sensors. This study i…
