Murphy loves potatoes: experiences from a pilot sensor network deployment in precision agriculture (2006, background): “Experience has shown that the radio range is dramatically reduced when the potato crop is flowering and leaves cover the (ground-based) antennas [11].”
Internet of Things in agriculture, recent advances and future challenges (2017, background): “Humidity has been shown to strongly affect radio wave propagation (Room & Tate, 2007; Thelen, 2004).”
Radio link quality estimation in wireless sensor networks (2012, background): “…deployments showed how the performance of popular radio transceivers have a strong dependency on environmental factors such as temperature [Bannister et al. 2008; Boano et al. 2010a], as well as how higher transmission frequencies tend to be more susceptible to humidity [Thelen et al. 2005].”
