Effective reforestation reduces atmospheric carbon, and helps mitigate climate change; but measuring the benefits is complex, making it difficult to assess project success. Karbon-X has developed a solution for this, using remote sensors to monitor key metrics like tree growth, soil health and environmental conditions. Using the truly global Iridium Certus 100 network, RockREMOTE Rugged transmits this data from even the most remote locations, delivering real-time insights and enhancing credibility. Here's how it works: https://lnkd.in/eeFf2DKi #climatechange #satelliteIoT #reforestation #certus100 #rockremote
