Abstract: Soil parameters monitoring is vital for different areas such as climatological and ecological studies, agriculture, etc. Large scale measurement systems are based on satellite technologies however their spatial and temporal resolutions still must be improved for real-time measurement tasks and control of local areas. Such systems also require in-situ measurements for calibration. It rises the need of local sensor networks development. The paper proposes a soil monitoring system which allows measuring temperature and humidity. Wireless communication between sensors and data collection unit allows to form sensor array at required area without additional cables. Usage of thermal noise method allows to perform measurement of both parameters with a single sensor which allows to avoid soil moisture content changes due to absence of local soil heating which could be caused by probing currents in other methods. Proposed method also allows to increase measurement accuracy.
