Fertility classes were established based on soil taxonomy (Fertile= All Vertisols, Mollisols, and Aridisols and Inceptisols without Oxic, Dystric, or Andic descriptors; Infertile= All Oxisols, Ultisols, and Inceptisols with Oxic, Dystric, or Andic descriptors; Fertile Andisols= All Ustands and Torrands; Infertile Andisols= All Udands and Vitrands; Organic Soils= All Histosols; Other= Entisols, Spodosols, and other land types).

808 Planner

The Oʻahu Resource Conservation and Development Council (ORCD) in collaboration with the City and County of Honolulu’s Office of Economic Revitalization (CCH-OER) present practical strategies for the agricultural and forestry sectors to adapt to climate change and extreme weather events.

We’ve developed the “808 Planner” tool to fulfill a part of our shared mission. This interactive map allows users to draw an area of interest and quickly obtain a summary of environmental characteristics, such as: administrative boundaries, climate, elevation, hazards, land use, and soils.

This tool aims to assist:

  • Agricultural Extension Services
  • Farmers
  • Landowners
  • Researchers
  • The General Public
