 abstract = {This work describes the development and implementation of a grid of self-powered multi-functional probes (MFPz) for small-scale measurements of different soil properties, as being part of a wireless sensor network. The measurement principle is based on the heat-pulse method for soil moisture and water flux measurements and in a Wenner array for soil electrical conductivity. To promote the deployment of these sensing devices across large areas, such as irrigation fields, the ZigBee standard has been adopted as a multi-hop, ad-hoc network enabler. The core of the MFPz device is a wireless microcontroller (with a built-in ZigBee stack) that builds upon an IEEE 802.15.4 radio device. A 7.2 Ah NiHM battery that is charged by a solar panel powers the MFPz device. Experimental results have proofed the reliability of the MFPz, regarding power consumption, connectivity and data agreement with known soil samples, as a cost-effective solution for environment monitoring.},
