Soil temperature modeling

Soil temperature modeling involves predicting how temperature varies within soil layers over time. It uses mathematical equations and data from weather, soil properties, and vegetation to help understand how heat moves through the ground. These models are important for agriculture, as soil temperature affects seed germination, plant growth, and nutrient availability. They also help scientists study climate change impacts, as soil temperature influences carbon emissions and ecosystem health. By accurately modeling soil temperatures, we can make better decisions for farming and environmental management.
