Soil Health Consulting Services

How can you improve soil properties and processes to enhance agronomic performance and sustainability?

Exponent's multidisciplinary environmental scientists and engineers offer an end-to-end portfolio of services to help clients optimize soil health and performance and address challenges related to erosion, compaction, contamination, salinization, loss of organic matter, and more.

Soil health relies on complex biological, chemical, and physical interactions, with wide-ranging effects on water cycling and other critical ecosystem services. Exponent's soil scientists apply cutting-edge technological expertise and sophisticated understandings of complex regulatory frameworks to assist clients in agriculture, forestry, and other sectors with custom solutions and insights that suit their specific needs and goals.

Capabilities

From soil health evaluations to contamination analysis (including for metals and PFAS), soil amendment consulting, regulatory support, and carbon offset credit support, our multidisciplinary environmental scientists and engineers provide expert support for your soil health challenges.

Exponent's team of environmental scientists, forensic engineers, data scientists, and other multidisciplinary consultants employ cutting-edge methods and technologies to help clients understand holistic soil and agronomic health. Evaluations of soil microbial biomass, organic matter, soil respiration, soil enzymes, and other factors support plant growth and vigor and ecosystem health and resilience. Exponent's scientists and engineers also use state-of-the-art modeling and assessment technologies to evaluate issues related to soil health, ecosystems, crop failures, soil and hydrological interactions, and other biological processes.
Following assessments of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil, our environmental scientists provide soil amendment solutions to improve soil structure, fertility, and function, with guidance extending to the application, timing, and dosage of amendments, as well as monitoring and evaluation of their effects. We also analyze interactions between soil and water, identifying potential risks and opportunities for soil and water conservation and management. Our consultants help clients address soil and water problems, such as erosion, runoff, sedimentation, flooding, and drought, for site- and climate-specific conditions and circumstances.
Exponent's multidisciplinary scientists and engineers offer bespoke evaluations and evidence-based insights into soil contamination events and conditions, with a range of services that includes soil testing field support, contamination and remediation modeling, rigorous analysis, remediation planning support, and soil monitoring. Exponent has decades of experience as a globally recognized expert in the assessment of chemical fate and transport, offering state-of-the-art assessments and bringing a broad understanding of how chemicals move into and through the subsurface. We bring a deep understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that impact the ultimate disposition of chemicals, helping you accurately define environmental impacts and liabilities.
