Wietse Wiersma

During his MSc study, Wietse worked on a soil mapping project in southern Colombia. His thesis was part of a larger project led by CIAT and partners aimed at evaluating land use types in terms of their soil quality and climate change mitigation potential. Active and total carbon were measured with a view to map SOC for the whole study area. The soil chemical part of his research was supervised by Mirjam Pulleman (Soil Biology and Biological Soil Quality) and Gerard Heuvelink supervised the digital soil mapping.
