New “Soils Revealed” platform puts soil carbon modelling at your fingertips

Soils Revealed is an interactive map that helps policymakers, NGOs, researchers, and land managers visualize ongoing carbon losses from our soil as well as the powerful potential to reverse that trend. This platform reveals where soil can sequester more carbon and gives people a visual tool to help them take action.

“The Soils Revealed platform allows policymakers to get a better understanding of the stunning decrease of carbon in our soils since we started farming,” said director of ISRIC – World Soil Information Rik van den Bosch. “And even more important, the platform shows where the greatest potential exists to store more carbon in soils and thus decrease the impact of climate change.”

Read lead soil scientist Deborah Bossio’s story about the project and a few key ways decision-makers can use Soils Revealed to see the potential of soil carbon.

Project partners: The Nature Conservancy, Cornell University, Woodwell Climate Research Center, and ISRIC – World Soil Information.
