SOC Sampling Design

Sampling Design for Soil Organic Carbon (SOC)

Seqana delivers sampling designs for your SOC projects. We navigate the complexity to keep your project on track and ensure your sequestration claims are backed by defensible data.

Talk to our Experts

We analyze

your project area using remote sensing data, Seqana’s machine learning models, and our extensive database of proprietary soil samples.

We evaluate

project goals, methodological constraints, and soil variability to determine the Economic Optimum Number of Samples (EONS).

We stratify

the project area according to soil carbon variability and methodological requirements.

We design

soil carbon maps with sampling points, fitted to the needs of your SOC sampling campaign.

Make defensible SOC sequestration claims with Seqana’s expertise

Measuring soil organic carbon is complex. Seqana creates SOC sampling designs that balance scientific rigor with the economics of your project, setting you up for long-term success.

Leverage Seqana's Precision Layer to improve accuracy of measurements

Whether you use Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) or Model Assisted Estimations (MaE), Seqana empowers your team to confidently apply the latest validated technologies.

Receive tailored sampling guidance and uncertainty deduction calculations

Build a robust MRV that is tailored to your project.

We’ll calculate the uncertainty deductions to give you a clear picture of how they impact your future sequestration claims.

Create projects with compliance built in from the start

We are experts at navigating the complexities of methodologies and building a sampling protocol that is compliant with your chosen approach.

Optimize your sampling strategy for impact with Seqana’s Economic Optimum Number of Samples (EONS)

Using Seqana’s Economic Optimum Number of Samples (EONS) calculations, we develop a sampling plan based on project specific variables and desired project outcomes. EONS enables teams to be scientifically rigorous, while making data-driven decisions about their project goals.

Our Clients & Partners value our robust approach to MRV.

Here’s what they have to say about working with Seqana:

“Seqana’s sampling approach is reliable and robust and well appropriate for a solid and science-based project MRV. The approach is in compliance with the respective requirements of the FAO GSOC MRV Protocol and the draft GHG Protocol LSRG."

Dr. Rainer Nerger

Senior Consultant (Soil, Nature-based Solutions) Sustainable AG

"Seqana transformed the complexity of planning soil sampling into a seamless process. Their precise stratification and tailored plans align perfectly with our criteria. Collaborating with their expert team and benefiting from proactive advice has been vital in advancing our mission to restore soil organic carbon at scale and speed."
