We use instruments to measure humidity, temperature, wind and other abiotic conditions in caves. Humidity is very tricky to measure above 95% and since most deep cave areas have 99-100% humidity, this is difficult to measure! This information can tell you a lot about the environment that different animals or microbes prefer.
