Data and modelling outputs from ARIES, developed at BC3, are now integrated into a GIS platform developed by AgriSat for the NBSOIL project, supporting the implementation of nature-based solutions for soil regeneration. The tool offers real-time visualisation of land conditions through an intuitive web-based map viewer, enabling soil advisors to monitor within-field variability, assess crop performance, and make data-driven decisions on water and nutrient management.
The AgriSat system includes a map viewer that supports the visualisation and temporal analysis of various Earth Observation data sources, such as images from the Sentinel-2 satellites, operated by the European Space Agency, and Landsat, operated by NASA. The system can also incorporate other types of georeferenced information, including data accessed via connectivity with other Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) or data generated by external models and databases, such as ARIES.
By incorporating ARIES data, AgriSat helps link local land management decisions with wider environmental goals. ARIES contributes semantic, interoperable data on ecosystem services and natural capital, enabling indicator-based evaluations of soil health that are location- and time-specific.
This integration shows how ARIES can power external platforms with open, science-based intelligence, bringing environmental data into practical decision-making. The ARIES–NBSOIL Open Library complements this work by providing free access to soil health variables and modelling components via ARIES semantic web services. After a simple registration, users can explore soil properties and assess soil health through customised, indicator-based queries.
This collaboration was further strengthened during the NBSOIL consortium meeting, held from 10–12 June 2025 in Torino, reinforcing the shared commitment to digital innovation in support of soil health and sustainable land management.
