Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The Quapaw Tribal Nation are advancing approaches to hazard mitigation and risk management aimed at increasing food security and sustainability of agriculture and ranching activities. This includes rehabilitation of land altered by mining back to productive status for the growing of corn, beans, and wheat alongside land used for grazing. The goals of this project include integration of multiple data sources, local technical ecological knowledge, and remote sensing to promote water and nutrient-smart agriculture. The Tribal Soils Explorer, an interactive web app, offers farmers and land managers soil property information previously unavailable.
