The first, beta version of the online, interactive Soil Health Risk Model Tool is now available!
This tool uses initial model outputs from the Land Core Risk Model Project Team, and focuses on the state of Illinois, and the practice of crop rotations (expressed as Rotational Crop Index).
The development of this tool would not have been possible without the brilliant team from the Schmidt Center for Data Science and the Environment (DSE) at the University of California, Berkeley. Their front- and back-end development expertise helped create the functional user interface of the tool to bring our modeling team’s work to life, and will help many stakeholders across the agricultural industry visualize and analyze the benefits of soil health practices.
Below you will find a link to the interactive tool, as well as a short video walkthrough of the tool features.
