Biodata Sonificiation Plant Electrode Based On Leaves: https://blog.ted.com/the-secret-life-of-plant-music/ "The white sensors, it turns out, are electrical probes that send a 4.5 volt signal through the plant to measure variations in the plant’s conductivity, which changes according to the amount of water moving through it." “It’s very similar to technology used in a lie detector,” says Patitucci. “If you imagine the wave in a lie-detector readout, we translate that into pitch in a musical scale. Changes in the waves also control various textural aspects of the sounds, or ‘instruments.’”

Soil Sampling?: (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium- nutrients plants need) But soil can encompass readouts for Fungi & Plants all soil based life. https://lastminuteengineers.com/soil-npk-sensor-arduino-tutorial/

https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/making-melodies-with-mushrooms/ “I learned that Indian classical music is heavily influenced by vibrations,” he told Vice in a recent interview. He notes his training in the genre helps him make sense of what, “the plants are trying to say”. “The plants (mushrooms) are not creating any music themselves. I use the movement of water inside these plants as electrical resistance. So when I plug circuit cables to them, even small changes in the said resistance due to the plant’s natural bioelectric charge manifest as notes of music." -Tarun Nayar from Vancouver

Outfit all of the plants with exoskeletons!

Instead of a machete, the plant could be connected to... UVC light bulb above controlled by an ESP32, the plant is hungry? The UVC light powers up! Sleepy? Powers down! One of the screens in the tree. Plant is bored? Next animal! LED systems on one wall?

After talking with Jesse we're going to use ESP32 as the micro controller with this soil sensor which I am rapid prototyping with the ESP32 Arduino library and Install Adafruit_seesaw library
