Welcome to SoilStack
SoilStack is an open source app designed to support smart agricultural and environmental sampling, capturing patterns of spatial variability and guiding users through in-field collection in a transparent, replicable, and user-friendly way.
Quick Start Guide
For Project Managers
- Create an account and a group. Access to fields is based on group and subgroup membership.
- Add fields. Polygons can be drawn directly in SoilStack, but most projects use the SoilStack API to post fields to their SoilStack group.
- Create an API key in your profile.
- SoilStack API documentation.
- Stratify fields. Stratification is currently completed using a semi-manual process as follows:
- Contact info@soilstack.io to get started.
- A SoilStack staff member will work with you to create the stratification settings that match your project needs.
- A summary of stratification settings is available here
- When fields are ready to be stratified, send a list of fields to be stratified to info@soilstack.io. Stratification will be complete in 2-3 business days and you will receive a notification once the fields are complete.
- Contact info@soilstack.io to get started.
- Add soil samplers to your group.
For Soil Samplers
- Accept the invitation to your project group.
- Once you log in, you will see fields that you have access to on the SoilStack landing page.
- Watch the SoilStack tutorial video to understand how to collect samples in the field.
