Leigh Winowiecki & Tor-Gunnar Vågen 27 October 2021 #Research2Resilience Innovations in Soil Health Monitoring: Combining Systematic Field Assessments with Spectroscopy and Earth Observation
Understanding the multiple dimensions of soil health for ecosystem restoration, climate change and food & nutrition security 1) Application of a systematic sampling framework 2) Use of innovative methods for soil analysis 3) Coupled with statistical analysis to generate predictive maps http://landscapeportal.org/blog/2015/03/25/the-land- degradation-surveillance-framework-ldsf/
S Robustandrapidmonitoringsystemsacrossdiverselandscapes: TheLandDegradationSurveillanceFramework(LDSF) http://landscapeportal.org/blog/2015/03/25/the-land-degradation-surveillance-framework-ldsf/ Data-driven network of LDSF sites (each site is 100 km2, with 160 sampling plots). One systematic framework across multiple projects, donors, initiatives.
• jyfy • MIR spectroscopy for accurate, robust, low-cost analysis of multiple properties, simultaneously • Can be used to analyze plants, compost, manure, fertilizers, liquids and yes soil! • Enables landscape scale sampling- which was previously limited by costs of analysis • This has transformed research and requires NEW skills of soil scientists • ICRAF has invested >20 yrs to build a consistent spectral library (database) for a number spectrometers • Investment in spectral data analytics http://worldagroforestry.org/blog/2020/08/13/data-streaming-spectrometer-new- dawn-soil-assessments https://wle.cgiar.org/solutions-and-tools/science-driven-solutions/shining-a-light-on- soils-for-land-restoration/
Spatially explicit assessments of priority areas for restoration: SOC + Erosion Winowiecki, LA., Vågen, T-G., Kinnaird, MF, TG. O’Brien. 2018. Application of systematic monitoring and mapping techniques: Assessing land restoration potential in semi-arid lands of Kenya. Geoderma. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001670611830510X
Soil erosion is a key indicator of land degradation: Spatial assessments enable targeting and tracking over time and demonstrate the urgency At the Global Level: Vågen, T.-G.; Winowiecki, L.A. Predicting the Spatial Distribution and Severity of Soil Erosion in the Global Tropics using Satellite Remote Sensing. Remote Sens. 2019, 11, 1800. https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/11/15/1800
Farm-level assessments at 30 meter resolution to track what is happening at the farm/household level – impact of restoration/ management options on SOC
Key messages • We have the tools and methods to measure and track changes in soil health at scales relevant to multiple stakeholders • Monitoring frameworks must capture the complex processes of degradation and restoration • These frameworks must be able to track performance of options overtime as well as inform decision making • Developing capacity to conduct assessments as well as to interpret and interrogate the results/data is critical • Investment in long-term and consistent monitoring is key to building the evidence base
