The Ecological Modeling Service uses select data sources, derived products, and modeling techniques to better understand the distribution and spread of invasive species.
The Ecosystem Services Modeling in the Amazon's Forest-Agricultural Interface service provides accurate maps for stakeholders and decision-makers to understand how agricultural production can lead to deforestation, particularly due to palm oil and cacao production.
The Mapping Soil Fertility in Ecuador service, in collaboration with the Ecuadorian Ministry of Agriculture, generated high-resolution (30 m) digital soil maps of key nutrients for agricultural development.
For many years, pastoralists in Northern Kenya have been affected by Opuntia stricta, an invasive cactus native to the Caribbean region and commonly referred to as prickly pear.
