Abstract

Capturing data in a drone enabled environmental for testing soil and ecological decision making includes initiating, using a computer, collection of data from multiple sources using a drone. The data includes information about soil at a specified soil location, in response to the drone flying over air space of a physical or geographical location respective to the soil location and/or landing at the soil location. Soil data is received, as part of the data, from the drone in response to testing the soil. The testing of the soil can include conducting a ground conductivity test using two or more probes coupled to respective landing pads of the drone, and positioning the drone over the soil location such that the two or more probes contact the soil. The data is analyzed to determine a best location for seeding and growing a plant in the soil.
