Patitapu Soil Moisture Network (PTSMN) is the very first network located in New Zealand.

Initiated within a doctoral research project (Massey University) and as part of the Primary Growth Partnership Project, the PTSMN network consists of 20 stations with soil moisture measurements in 4 different depths each (0.07- 0.13m , 0.17-0.23m , 0.27-0.33m , 0.37-0.43m). Observations are available from November 2016 until mid of November 2018 and will be updated in future.

For more information on the network please find the publication here: https://doi.org/10.1016/J.AGWAT.2019.03.002

We want to give our warmest thanks to Istvan Hajdu for participating within the ISMN and for his support during the implementation process.
