The YSI probes, cables and meters are designed for liquid water quality measurements and are not designed for soil sample analysis. If you have a process for creating liquid slurries from the soil to analyze, this may work; however, there is not any documentation on this application available from the manufacturer.
The 605790-X Quatro cable assembly includes the 5560 temperature/conductivity sensor, calibration cup, and probe guard with weight. This is what's recommended when purchasing a new ProQuatro water quality meter. The 116054-X Quatro cable assembly includes the cable only and is recommended when replacing a failed cable.

Canadian baseline monitoring shows healthy Horse Creek
Baseline monitoring conducted by the Little Creeks and Rough Fescue Appreciation Society showed that Alberta’s Horse Creek is healthy but still threatened, according to a Rocky View Weekly article. 
 The initiation of the study was one of the main goals of the nature loving group of Canadian women. It is now in its second year. 
 They collected funds to hire a consultant to monitor the creek. Parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, dissolved and suspended solids were measured. The study also examined nutrient intake into the creek. 
Monitoring showed the creek was in relatively good health but is threatened by excessive water flows from nearby Cochran Lake, nutrient loading and inflow of higher conductivity water.

Most people need little more than a comfortable pillow, a blanket, and a dark room to drift off into a multi-hour snooze. Many researchers assumed that once plunged into darkness for about half the year during the polar night, most polar creatures would do the same: fall asleep and take a big nap for as long as the darkness lasted. But Jon Cohen, associate professor of marine sciences, school of marine science and policy, in the College of Earth, Ocean, and the Environment at the University of Delaware, wondered if that was true. Despite the technical challenges of monitoring biota in very low light conditions, Cohen and his team were determined to find out if krill, copepods, and other creatures were dozing off in the dark or seeking out prey, light, and each other.

Not many young people pondering careers come up with the words “acid mine drainage.” But Jen Bowman, Director of Environmental Programs at the Voinovich School at Ohio University, could not help but be fascinated by what she saw during her days as an Ohio University student collecting field samples. “My interest in acid mine drainage, and how it affects watersheds, goes way back to my undergraduate days,” she explains. “We saw firsthand how streams could be impacted by drainage from abandoned mines. Sometimes streams had such severe problems they turned orange. It was hard not to be struck by that. I was drawn in to the many associated challenges, keeping watersheds clean, and improving stream health.
