EcosystemDigital tools

A growing constellation of soil and carbon tools

Alongside our consulting work, Ekodama builds open, rigorous digital tools for the people who measure and model land systems. Some are live today; others are in development. Each one is designed to make credible soil and carbon work easier to do, and easier to defend.

Live

Field Atlas

An interactive map of soil science: the concepts, methods, and literature that underpin the work, organized so you can move from a question to the evidence behind it.

  • Interactive map
  • Soil science
  • Open access
In development

Ekodama Academy

A learning platform for the practical craft behind the work: soil sampling, tree measurement, and modeling soil-carbon dynamics, taught as hands-on courses with room for outside practitioners to teach their own.

  • Online courses
  • Field methods
  • Carbon modeling

SOC Toolbox

Calculators for soil organic carbon work (sample-size and stratification planning, stock and uncertainty estimation), built to carbon-accounting standards, not agronomic rules of thumb.

  • Sampling design
  • SOC stocks
  • Uncertainty

Carbon Modeling

Scenario tools built on established soil-carbon turnover models like RothC, calibrated to local climate and soils, for forecasting how management choices play out over time.

  • RothC
  • Scenarios
  • Decision support

Tree Line

A global database of species-specific, context-aware tree-carbon parameters with full provenance, built for teams that need to defend their allometric and sequestration numbers.

  • Tree carbon
  • Allometry
  • Provenance

Soil ID

A guided reference for describing and classifying soils in the field: horizons, texture, and diagnostic features, and a bridge between field observation and formal classification.

  • Classification
  • Field guide
  • Pedology

Want early access, or to shape one of these?

Several of these tools are still taking shape. If one would solve a live problem for your team, or you'd like to help develop it, tell us what you're working on.
