Research Initiative for Northeast Grazing Soils
A collaboration among university, government, and non-profit researchers to advance understanding of soil organic carbon dynamics in lands directly or indirectly impacted by grazing animals throughout the Northeast US.
Learn More →Our Objective
RINGS improves our understanding of soil carbon sequestration in Northeast grazing systems by aggregating existing datasets, standardizing sampling protocols, and identifying geographic and measurement gaps in soil carbon data.

Gap Analysis
Developing a publicly available geospatial tool to visualize current and historical soil organic carbon data collection, and recommending methodologies for soil carbon stock measurement and management data collection.
Fit-for-purpose Models
Identifying process-based models capable of linking on-farm management practices to soil outcomes relevant to multiple actors across the NE agricultural landscape.
