Musefa Redi Abegaz, PhD candidate at Wageningen University and Research, contributing to the LSC-IS project, delivered an online training on applying the ISRIC Seedling Workflow for Digital Soil Mapping to the Africa Soil Information Community of Practice.

On 24 September 2025, Musefa Redi Abegaz, PhD candidate at Wageningen University and Research, whose research contributes to the Land Soil Crop Information Services project, delivered an online training session on the application of the ISRIC Seedling Workflow for Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) to members of the Africa Soil Information Community of Practice

Hosted on the ISRIC Academy platform, which offers training courses developed by ISRIC or its partners, the session was attended by 50 participants across the continent

The training began with an overview from Musefa’s recent paper, “Mapping soil fertility properties in central Ethiopia at 100 m spatial resolution”, published in Geoderma Regional. This study leverages digital soil mapping to generate high-resolution 3D maps of key soil fertility properties across central Ethiopia, covering tall Shewa zones, as well as Arsi and Jimma zones.

Following the presentation, the session’s focus shifted to demonstrating how to apply the DSM workflow. This workflow, used for DSM training under the LSC-IS project, provides comprehensive guidance for generating soil maps.
