Environmental research on soil moisture measurement in the forest 3 types, 4 benefits The objectives of the research are to study soil structure, soil texture and soil color, soil pH, soil temperature, soil minerals and soil moisture. From the study, it was found that from the results of the soil moisture measurement experiment in the forest 3 types, 4 benefits at Wichianmat School, it was found that the soil structure around the fan palm is a loose and friable type, dark brown in color, the soil texture is a red sandy clay loam, the soil structure around the eucalyptus is a loose and friable type, the soil is dark brown in color, the soil texture is a red sandy clay loam, the soil structure around the teak tree is a compact soil type, the soil is light brown in color, the soil texture is a red sandy clay loam. The average temperature of the fan palm is 24.7, the average temperature of the eucalyptus is 25, the average temperature of the teak tree is 25.3, the average moisture of the fan palm is 43, the average moisture of the eucalyptus is 57, the average moisture of the teak tree is 23. The average pH of the fan palm is 5.7, the average pH of the eucalyptus is 4.3, the average pH of the teak is 2.7. In conclusion, the temperature at the teak tree is the highest, the humidity at the eucalyptus tree is the highest, and the pH at the fan palm tree is the highest.
