Digital Soil Mapper
I love studying soil in the field and on the computer. Maps are a great way to display and share large amounts of information. At the Sydney Institute of Agriculture we make many different types of maps. Some show which areas of a paddock will yield more crop, others identify where you will produce the best tasting wine.
Now, with your help, we will make maps of the biological acitivity of soils. You may not notice it from above ground, but soils are incredibly diverse. Understanding this variation is important for understanding how the soil formed, how healthy it is and how we can secure our soils so that they can perform their important functions for humankind and the environment long into the future.
Good maps require a lot of data points so I am excited to work with all of you and build something great together.
