In general: Connecting sensor and node is easy and can be done with a simple screwdriver. It gets a bit more complicated on the software side, programming the node to send data and retrieving it from the cloud, but nothing impossible if you really set your mind to it.

I completely understand and until recently would have said the same. However, now we have a project that is running on ~80 sites that are spread out over a large area. Since we can't visit every fen regularly, the ability to retrieve live data is really helpful in monitoring sensor health.

If you are willing to get a little techy: Keller 26Xi, attached to LoRaWAN node for getting live data.

Maybe humans? Here in northern Germany some #peatlands were covered with sand or other debris, in order to "improve" properties for cultivation. The profile in the picture contained a middle layer of, among other things, brick fragments.

Zumindest in MV erlebe ich dabei viele Mitarbeitende in den Naturschutzverwaltungen, die versuchden den Laden trotz Strukturproblemen und Unterfinanzierung mit viel Engagement mehr schlecht als recht am Laufen halten.
