New! 'SOD' Soil health tool
06.12.2022
The UKCEH soils team has developed an exciting new web tool - 'SOD' (SOil funDamentals). SOD aims to help all landowners monitor and improve the health of their soil. The tool was developed using data from the UKCEH's nationwide Countryside Survey which has been exploring the change in soils and vegetation across the landscape since 1978 from cropland to woodlands, grasslands to wetlands.
