## Description

Ambee Soil gives your AI agent direct access to real-time and historical soil data. It pulls moisture levels, temperatures, and chemical properties from across the globe. Use it to manage irrigation, plan crop cycles, or map out large-scale agricultural projects without manual data entry. Managing soil health usually involves juggling multiple sensors, spreadsheets, and manual logs. This Connector changes that by letting your agent pull everything into one conversation. Instead of hunting for data, you can just ask your agent what the ground feels like at a specific farm or what the moisture trends looked like last month. It handles the heavy lifting of fetching global soil properties like pH levels and organic carbon content so you can focus on making decisions. You'll find this in the Vinkius catalog, where it connects your Ambee Soil API key to any compatible client. It turns your agent into a field expert that knows your land's history and current state instantly. This means you can stop spending hours on data aggregation and start focusing on the actual work of farming or research. Whether you need to know if the ground is too dry for planting today or if the soil chemistry is right for a new vineyard, the data is just a question away.

## Tools

### get_historical_soil
Ambee Soil fetches historical moisture and temperature data to help you identify seasonal patterns. This is useful for long-term irrigation planning and drought assessment.

### get_latest_soil
Ambee Soil retrieves the current moisture and temperature for a specific coordinate right now. Use this to make immediate decisions about irrigation or crop health.

### get_soil_by_radius
Ambee Soil returns a list of soil readings across a specific area for regional assessment. This helps you understand soil variability across a large farm or region.

### get_soil_properties
Ambee Soil provides chemical and physical details like pH, texture, and organic carbon. Use this to determine land suitability for specific crops or livestock.

### get_grid_soil
Ambee Soil provides gridded data points for creating soil condition maps and GIS analysis. Use this to plan variable rate applications for precision agriculture.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What's the soil moisture like at my farm in Iowa (41.8780, -93.0977)?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Soil Conditions: Iowa Farm

**Current Moisture:** 32.4% (Moderate)
**Current Temperature:** 18.2°C (64.8°F)

**Assessment:** 
* The moisture level is adequate for current corn growth stages.
* Temperature is ideal for nutrient uptake.

**Recommendation:** Irrigation is not required today, but keep monitoring over the next 48 hours.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the soil moisture trends for the last 60 days at my location.
```

**Response:** 
```
### 60-Day Soil Moisture Trend

| Period | Avg Moisture | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Days 1-15 | 38% | Recovery |
| Days 16-30 | 28% | Dry Spell |
| Days 31-45 | 35% | Irrigation Applied |
| Days 46-60 | 32% | Stabilizing |

**Overall Trend:** The land is showing a gradual drying pattern with one successful irrigation intervention in the middle of the period.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the soil properties at my vineyard? I need the pH and organic carbon.
```

**Response:** 
```
### Vineyard Soil Profile

*   **pH Level:** 6.4 (Slightly acidic, optimal for grapes)
*   **Organic Carbon:** 1.8% (Good fertility)
*   **Texture:** Sandy Loam (62% Sand, 24% Silt, 14% Clay)
*   **Bulk Density:** 1.42 g/cm³

**Assessment:** Your soil is well-suited for viticulture with good drainage. Consider adding organic matter to boost carbon content above 2%.

## Capabilities

### Get real-time moisture
Retrieve current soil moisture and temperature for any global location instantly.

### Track historical trends
Analyze moisture and temperature patterns over days, weeks, or months.

### Map soil across a radius
Get soil readings for multiple points within a specific area for spatial analysis.

### Analyze chemical properties
Access detailed soil composition including texture, organic carbon, and pH levels.

### Generate grid maps
Create structured gridded soil data for GIS integration and precision agriculture mapping.

## Use Cases

### Automated Irrigation Scheduling
A farmer asks their agent if the corn field is dry. The agent uses `get_latest_soil` to check moisture and suggests turning on the water.

### Drought Impact Research
A researcher asks for a 60-day moisture history for a specific county. The agent uses `get_historical_soil` to pull the data for a report.

### Vineyard Suitability Check
A vineyard owner wants to know if a new plot is good for grapes. The agent uses `get_soil_properties` to check the pH and texture.

### Precision Agriculture Mapping
A farm manager needs to see moisture across the whole property. The agent uses `get_grid_soil` to generate a map for the team.

## Benefits

- Get precise irrigation schedules by using `get_latest_soil` to check current moisture levels before you turn on the water.
- Spot drought patterns early with `get_historical_soil` to see how your land holds up over months of dry weather.
- Map out variable rate fertilizer plans using `get_grid_soil` to create structured data for your GIS software.
- Assess land suitability for new crops by checking pH and organic carbon with `get_soil_properties` before you start planting.
- Analyze regional variability across large farms using `get_soil_by_radius` to find specific dry spots that need attention.

## How It Works

It provides real-time moisture levels for your specific coordinates. This allows you to see exactly how dry the ground is before you decide to turn on your irrigation systems.

**Can Ambee Soil give me historical moisture data?**
Yes, it can pull moisture and temperature data from past days, weeks, or months. This is great for identifying seasonal trends and planning long-term water usage.

**Does Ambee Soil work for agricultural research?**
It does. Researchers can use it to access global soil datasets to study climate patterns, soil health, and land degradation across different regions.

**What kind of soil properties can I get with Ambee Soil?**
You can access detailed physical and chemical data, including soil texture, pH levels, organic carbon content, and bulk density.

**Can Ambee Soil help me map my farm's soil?**
Yes, it can generate gridded data points. These are perfect for creating soil condition maps and for use in GIS software for precision agriculture.

**Is Ambee Soil good for landscaping and gardening?**
It's a great tool for checking land suitability. You can verify if a new property has the right pH and soil type for the specific plants you want to put in.

**Can my AI check real-time soil moisture and temperature for my farm location?**
Yes! Use the `get_latest_soil` tool with your farm latitude and longitude coordinates. The API returns current soil moisture percentage and soil temperature in Celsius. This data is updated in near real-time using satellite and sensor fusion models, making it perfect for daily irrigation decisions and crop health monitoring.

**How do I get historical soil moisture trends to analyze drought patterns?**
Use the `get_historical_soil` tool with your coordinates and the number of days you want to analyze (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 days). This returns daily soil moisture and temperature readings that you can use to identify drying trends, assess drought severity, and plan irrigation schedules based on historical patterns.

**What soil properties are available and how can they help with crop planning?**
Use the `get_soil_properties` tool to access detailed soil composition data including sand/silt/clay percentages, organic carbon content, bulk density, pH, and cation exchange capacity (CEC). These properties help determine soil texture classification, drainage capacity, nutrient retention, and optimal crop selection for your land.
