The SOILCRATES Living Lab Granada Tierra Viva is entering a new phase in the deployment of SoilHeroic, an initiative designed to improve understanding of agricultural soil resilience through advanced observation technologies.
As part of the SOILCRATES project, SoilHeroic combines drone-based remote sensing with field-installed sensor networks. Drones equipped with high-resolution sensors are being used alongside in-situ monitoring tools to collect continuous, multi-scale data on soil conditions across different agricultural plots.
This approach will help researchers and Living Lab partners analyse how different management practices influence key soil health variables, including soil moisture, soil structure, biological activity and the soil’s capacity to respond to climate stress.
The data generated through this monitoring phase will contribute to the development of more robust models for assessing soil health. In turn, these models can support the transition towards more sustainable, efficient and resilient agricultural systems, grounded in scientific evidence and practical field observations.
This phase is being developed with the participation of the SOILCRATES project team, including the work carried out by Laura Cambronero during the early stages of SoilHeroic. The team also acknowledges the support and technical advice provided by members of DaSCI, the Andalusian Interuniversity Institute in Data Science and Computational Intelligence, and the RNM-197 research group.
