The Net-Zero Carbon Emission Lab (NCEL) has launched a powerful web-based Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) Predictor Application, designed to make soil carbon estimation faster, more accessible, and data-driven.
Led by Dr. Yen Adams Sokama-Neuyam, with research support from Sylvester Yeboah Gyamfi and Joel Baidoo, the initiative tackles a persistent challenge: conventional laboratory measurement of soil organic carbon is expensive, slow, and often inaccessible in many regions. Yet SOC remains one of the most critical indicators of soil fertility, agricultural productivity, and climate mitigation potential.
The SOC Predictor Application transforms this landscape. By inputting defined soil parameters, users receive reliable SOC estimates supported by transparent model performance metrics and intuitive visual interpretation tools. The platform bridges scientific modelling with practical usability, enabling farmers, researchers, and environmental practitioners to make informed decisions without laboratory delays.
This innovation strengthens digital soil mapping, supports sustainable land management, and advances carbon quantification efforts essential for climate action. More than a tool, it represents a shift toward accessible, technology-driven soil intelligence.
