Service details

What’s included?

Organic Matter (DUMAS organic carbon) analysis

A high-accuracy, rapid, and reliable method to measure total organic carbon (TOC) present in your soil, which is a key indicator of soil health and carbon sequestration potential.

DUMAS analysis provides a precise and consistent measure of carbon content, making it ideal for benchmarking and tracking changes over time—essential for understanding soil improvement and informing practices.

Bulk Density analysis

Measures the mass of dry soil per unit volume (g/cm³) to assess soil compaction, porosity, water holding capacity, and structure. We only use wet chemistry analysis to ensure scientifically robust and accurate data.

Combined with DUMAS organic carbon analysis, it provides accurate calculations of carbon sequestration for potential carbon farming or trading schemes.
