[pane] App

Examine the soil of your field, grassland, or garden. Compare, for example, different fields, crops, or cultivation methods to see how they affect soil health. With the [pane] app, you can record several important indicators of soil health, including humus content, water retention capacity, and earthworm populations. Recording accompanying data such as soil type, weather, and cultivation method will help you better understand the results. Info panels in the app guide you through the individual investigations. With our app, you can research your own farm and find ways to improve soil health. Your data will also be stored on a secure server along with that of all other participants and used anonymously at the Department of Soil Science at the Technical University of Berlin for research on soil health. This way, as many people as possible benefit together. The [pane] app runs on the SPOTTERON Citizen Science platform at www.spotteron.net
