The Soil Layer is likely one of the places you will spend the most time.

By default the map shows the average available water content (AWC) of each site there is a soil moisture probe. The color of the circle indicates the stress region the soil moisture is in. Green indicates the soil moisture is at a perfect state.

The map view can be changed via the map filter box. Under the drop down you can show moisture levels by sensors at different depths or by all depths.

The Summary tab includes a table of all of the average AWC percentage for each day as well as the predicted AWC percentages looking forward. (Where applicable)

The first chart under the Details tab is the AWC chart. This is a great indicator of the status of the soil moisture at the site.

Individual depths can be seen by toggling the “Average Selected Depths” switch. The AWC chart is a great way to visualize the changing amounts of water in the soil over time.

The next chart is the Infiltration Map. This is another way to visualize the status of water in the soil. This chart is especially effective at seeing moisture levels at different depths and seeing how effectively irrigations are infiltrating into the soil.

The Salt Map is a relative measurement of the Volumetric Ionic Content (VIC) of the soil at each sensor depth. While VIC does not relate to EC, this chart does give a good sense of which depths have higher levels of salts that may impede water movement as well as show the movement of salts in the soil, such as fertilizer that is applied during the season.

The soil temperature chart can be a helpful tool when evaluating root growth potential or if the soils are at an appropriate temperature for applying certain fertilizers.

While it is not yet included, the Details tab will soon include an irrigation activity chart that shows when irrigations happened in order to compare irrigation events with changes in soil moisture.
