Food security is a major problem nowadays. Ensuring enough food for the entire human
population is becoming harder due to climate change and world population growth. Smart …

World population growth and desertification are the most severe issue to agricultural food
production. Smart agriculture is a promising solution to ensure food security. The use of …

The physiology of living organisms, such as living plants, is complex and particularly difficult
to understand on a macroscopic, organism-holistic level. Among the many options for …

Electrical impedance spectroscopy has been suggested as a sensing method for plants.
Here, a theoretical approach for electrical conduction via the plant stem is presented and …

A step forward in smart agriculture is moving to direct monitoring plants and crops instead of
their environment. Understanding plant status is crucial in improving food production and …

World population growth and desertification are increasing the food demand. Food
production must increase to ensure food security in the following years. Smart agriculture …

A pervasive diffusion of wireless sensors distributed in the environment can be sustained by
a significant reduction of the cost of the transducers. Water represents a fundamental …

Population growth and global warming are the main threats to food production. Food
security, producing enough food for the entire population, is becoming harder, and new …

Smart agriculture offers an environmental-friendly path with respect to unsustainable farming
that depletes the nutrients in the soil leading to a persistent degradation of ecosystems …

In this paper, we present a study of in-vivo four-point impedance spectroscopy (FPIS) for
plant monitoring. FPIS was measured vs. time under hydration/dehydration cycles in tobacco …
