Forecasting soil conditions

不知道土壤在何处以及如何对气候变化和人类干预作出反应，会损害粮食、水、气候和能源安全。目前，缺乏土壤过程知识和数据基础设施，共同造成对土壤主要威胁的评估存在重大不确定性和风险。 该项目设计了一个转型数字土壤模型，以预测新南威尔士州土壤pH值和碳将在何处以及如何变化。 该模型在澳大利亚境内进行了测试，将深入了解变化的驱动因素，并将对气候变化和土地管理对土壤动态的影响进行独特的分析。

Not knowing where and how soil responds to climate change and human intervention compromises food, water, climate and energy security. Currently there is a lack of soil process knowledge and data infrastructure collectively causing significant uncertainty and risk in the assessments of key threats to soil. The project devises a transformational digital soil model to forecast where and how soil pH and carbon will change in New South Wales. Tested on sites within Australia, the model will give insight on the drivers of change and will provide a unique analysis of the effect of climate change and land management on the dynamics of soil.
