Objective

Identify soil temperature, moisture, biological activity and carbon sequestration.

Description

Maintain and protect soil cover (canopy and ground cover); promote, maintain, and add to soil organic matter;promote native vegetation and minimize invasive species expansion.

Expected results

Protecting soil vulnerable elements.
