Sky-to-Soil Integrative Framework

INTPREP website_rev 4
In order to bridge basic science with outcomes for field application and for policy development, we have adopted an unique “Sky-to-Soil” approach which:
  • Integrates field-based, laboratory/GHG based controlled and observatory studies for developing cause-and-effect relationships.
  • Connects different scales from macro-to-micro, small-to medium-sized laboratory, GHG and plot scales to large field-based scenarios. This is achieved through a combination of high-density data used in advanced mechanistic and process modelling.
  • Establishes predictive models key for policy developers and the plantation industry of both large and small sizes. Predictive models are being developed for their applications, using a combination of data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
