This summer, new measurements of soil water content were carried out by Cyril Dejean (Irstea G-EAU unit in Montpellier) on the OPTMix plots using a neutron probe. These new measurements carried out during a period of severe drought (14/08/2018) will complete the range of measurements required to calibrate the soil water content sensors (CS616 – Campbell Scientific) installed in the OPTMix plots (see also here) .
