Soil moisture plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability, agriculture, and water resource management. This study investigates the relationship between soil type and relative humidity in various geographic regions of Israel, utilizing the SMAP protocol from the global GLOBE program for systematic data collection. The research examines soil samples from four locations—Dimona, Dir Hanna, Rosh HaAyin, and Herzliya—analyzing their moisture retention capacity and the impact of climate variables such as precipitation, cloud cover, and topography.
