Build-It-Yourself: Low-Cost Systems for Field Ecophysiology An Open Handbook for DIY Environmental Measurement Systems

This handbook is part of the MonksHillLab initiative, which aims to democratize science by enabling low-cost, DIY sensor development for environmental monitoring. It provides step-by-step guidance on building and calibrating sensor systems. The project supports ecophysiological research and the discovery of sustainable agricultural management practices, particularly in under-resourced regions and the Global South. Future versions will expand to include additional sensors for field research, education, and open-access innovation.
