Abstract: A system of soil carbon measurement is provided. The system includes a multimodal sensor payload that includes multiple sensors that are each a different sensor type and that are configured to estimate quantities of carbon stored in a soil area. The sensors include multiple stand-off sensor technologies.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for mobile detection of soil compaction and soil characteristic data are provided. Operations include causing a subsurface portion of soil at a compaction detection location to be disrupted using compressed air, generating disruption data corresponding to the disruption of the subsurface portion of the soil at the compaction detection location, generating geographic location data corresponding to the compaction detection location, receiving the geographic location data from the location device and the disruption data from the disruption sensor and associating the geographic location data with the disruption data.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for using machine learning to optimize crop residue management are provided. Operations of such methods include receiving, using a processing circuit and from multiple of sensors, crop residue data of a surface of a soil area, receiving, into the processing circuit and from a location sensor, geographic location data that corresponds to the crop residue data and generating multizone tillage data that is based on the crop residue data and that corresponds to a plurality of zones that are defined in the soil area.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for determining optimized tillage of a soil area are provided. Operations include transmitting, using at least one sensor, a data set regarding a physical, chemical and/or biological aspect of the soil area. Operations include receiving, using at least one computing device, the data set regarding the physical, chemical and/or biological aspect of the soil area. The at least one computing device removes a set of redundant data and the at least one computing device enhances a set of data that is not the set of redundant data. Operations include generating a visualization of the set of data that is not redundant data. The data that is not redundant data provides a data set reflecting a soil compaction measurement within the soil area and the soil area is not deeper than 36 inches from a surface of the soil area.
