Every year on December 5, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organizations supports worldwide celebrations of soil for World Soil Day. This year, Land Soil Crop Hubs project partner ISRIC – World Soil Information hosted a celebration in their World Soil Museum and featured PhD candidate Musefa Redis research which is undertaken through this project.
Musefa led participants on a virtual excursion of his fieldwork in Central Ethiopia which is producing new soil data to enable climate-smart fertilizer recommendations.
The goal of this fieldwork research is to measure rooted soil depth in the field as part of the Root Zone Plant Available Water Holding Capacity (RZ-PAWHC) and the individual rootability-limiting soil factors (constraints) for central Ethiopia.
