Dear Subscribers,

The Soil Health Institute (SHI) has released the Soil Health Research
Landscape Tool <http://www.soilhealthinstitute.org>, which is an online
library and search engine. The tool will be a resource for agricultural and
environmental scientists, agricultural producers, and others interested in
soil health.

“In addition to the most up-to-date information on soil health and its
relationship to soil amendments, cover crops, erosion control, and other
agricultural and land management practices, the Soil Health Research
Landscape tool will include data, metadata, methods descriptions,
standards, and related economic impacts for soil scientists, researchers,
and analysts. The information will be available publicly through the
Institute’s website.

The initial library includes more than 1,000 scientific research papers,
research progress reports, and other kinds of publications and references.
Building the tool’s library of soil health papers and information will be
an ongoing, open-ended effort by the Institute and its partners.

“The Soil Health Research Landscape tool allows users to connect soil
health problems, management actions, and desired outcomes with research
addressing their particular situation, whether it be from a specific
production system, climatic zone, or geographic region,” explained Wayne
Honeycutt, SHI President and Chief Executive Officer. “Situations in which
no research literature exists indicate gaps that merit future consideration
for soil health research. Because enhancing soil health can increase
productivity, water quality, carbon sequestration, and drought resilience,
while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions, this release of the Soil
Health Research Landscape tool is an important step in providing a
comprehensive, searchable, and publicly available information system for
achieving both agricultural and environmental benefits,” Honeycutt added.
