Popis:	Measurements along the length of an optical fibre sensitised to pH and moisture will enable monitoring of spatial differences around the root systems of developing plants. Mapping of spatial variations and temporal changes in moisture and pH provides a methodical approach for imaging soil behaviour and potentially the effect of plant roots and associated soil micro-organisms, enabling optimisation of crop yield.
