Hi Emily; My lab group has used iButton temperature sensors but we have not used humidity logging ones. We had a lot of success with the temperature loggers by securely wrapping them in parafilm before burying them in the soil. We found the moisture ruined the sensors and that parafilm was effective at keeping the moisture out for up to a year or more.
I hope that this helps, Darin On Jun 7, 2012, at 12:08 PM, Emily Atkinson wrote: > Hi, > > Has anyone used an iButton temperature/humidity logger specifically for > soils?
