This is a citizen science project led by Dr. Mery Touceda-Suarez and Dr. Stephanie Mathews at North Carolina State University. We are interested in characterizing the urban soil of Raleigh, North Carolina.
Essentially we want to take a performance review of your soil. By understanding soil quality we will learn how well it supports the environment which is often related to how well it can grow plants.
If our soil is healthy, it supports life around it including microbes, plants, animals and humans. Healthy soil can recycle nutrients and is protected from erosion, nutrient depletion and a loss of organic matter. Soil health impacts you!
Thank you for being our being our eyes, ears, and hands in this effort.
