Soil Analysis, Carbon Sampling and Designing for Resilience / Análisis de Suelos, Muestreo de Carbono y Diseño para la Resiliencia
Tapley Court Garden 221 Bay Street, Springfield, MA, United StatesIn this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to accurately sample soils for comprehensive chemical analysis, including soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient profiles. We will analyze in situ the biological, physical and chemical properties of soils, including compaction, infiltration rate, soil texture and structure, surface biology, soil aggregate stability, root behavior, soil temperature and bulk density. This integrated approach provides a thorough understanding of soil health by combining quantitative data with qualitative observations. Participants will also have an opportunity to learn about Landscape Interactions’ collaboration with NOFA/Mass Food Access to transform a portion of their community garden at Tapley Court Apartments into a refugia for at-risk native bees, butterflies and moths through the incorporation of biodiverse, perennial and productive native plant communities.
