National Soil Project

The National Soil Project is a scientific initiative that studies soil composition across different regions of the United States. By collecting and analyzing soil samples, researchers learn about the minerals, nutrients, and microbes present, which helps in understanding soil health, fertility, and environmental impacts. This information supports sustainable land use, agriculture, and ecological conservation by providing detailed data that informs policy and management decisions. Ultimately, the project aims to better understand soils to protect natural resources and promote environmental resilience.
