Ranch Data – Soil
Soils are foundational: the medium through which nutrients, water and energy will cycle and flow. By tracking changes in soil structure (e.g. bulk density and water infiltration), fertility and soil carbon, we can better understand the how management and climate are affecting the function and health of the landscape.

Since 2015, Point Blue Conservation Science has tested soils across TomKat Ranch. These data allow us to evaluate soil productivity throughout the ranch and track changes over time. As soil productivity impacts occur slowly over time, measurements are taken every three years (2015, 2018, 2021, 2024).
