Scope

This document outlines soil temperature measuring methodology and provides guidance on the selection of a measurement method for soil temperature which is dependent on measuring purposes.

Purpose

Soil temperature is not a chemical or biological factor but makes strong deals with biological activity in soil. Organic carbons are easily decomposed in soil by microbes that are activated when soil temperature is in a range in favor of microbes. Soil temperature is thus one of essential conditions for microbes to emit carbon dioxide besides other factors such as the contents of organic carbons and water. Soil temperature gives information on the risk of carbon dioxide emission from target land. This document outlines the measurement methods for soil temperature and instructs the selection dependent on soil temperature measuring purposes.
