While the sensor provides over estimations of soil CO₂ it can detect sharp differences when varying amounts of NaHCO₃ are added. The sensor showed higher CO₂ peaks in the lab in comparison to the field. This suggests that the sensor is sensitive to abiotic factors, such as wind speed. With additional time, investigations into correlations between abiotic factors and CO₂ accumulation would have been conducted. While the lowest concentration of NaHCO₃ added was 1g, it is possible that the sensor could detect differences in CO₂ accumulation at even lower concentrations. Further studies would have investigated this to develop a finer sensitivity scale for the T6713 CO₂ sensor.

In contrast to the field 3g and 5g NaHCO₃ treatments, 1g shows a steady increase over time with only a minute drop in CO₂ concentrations while the sensor records a decline in CO₂ concentrations over time for the other treatments. Under normal conditions, CO₂ levels are approximately 550ppm, according to the sensor. The peak for the 1g treatment is roughly 640ppm which isn’t significantly different from normal conditions therefore any drop in CO₂ isn’t as extreme as the 3g or 5g treatments.

Lab measurements however show far greater peaks due to less disturbances from the external environment. While the 1g treatment shows a normal distribution of CO₂ over time, 3g and 5g treatments peak early and drop immediately after. This may be due to the chemical reaction between the acid and NaHCO₃ peaking rapidly, producing a lot of CO₂ all at once and then dropping significantly as the reaction slows down and CO₂ begins to saturate over time.
