Quantitative insight for vegetation, soils, and climate.
Gradient helps agriculture, biotech, and environmental teams make sense of complex data: vegetation response, microbial communities, fumigants and fungicides, and climate and geospatial context.
From plot-level trials to regional species distributions, we bridge ecophysiology, statistics, and spatial modeling to support better products, better management, and better science.
- Vegetation and crop response to fumigants, fungicides, and pesticides
- Soil and microbiome metrics linked to plant performance
- Climate and pest survival modeling across landscapes
- Experimental design, structural equation models, and publication-ready results
Core capabilities
Field & Vegetation Analytics
Design and analysis of field, greenhouse, and common garden trials, with a focus on plant performance, physiology, and vegetation dynamics across treatments and environments.
Microbial & Soil Systems
Interpretation of microbiome and soil function data (e.g., vendor platforms such as Biome Makers), connecting belowground metrics to crop and vegetation outcomes.
Climate & Geospatial Modeling
Integration of weather, climate projections, and spatial data to understand pest survival, disease risk, and species distributions from field sites to continental scales.
Decision & Publication Support
Technical reports, structural equation models, and manuscript-quality figures that clarify mechanisms, support internal decisions, and prepare work for peer review.
From messy data to clear decisions
Gradient specializes in projects where the data are real-world, imperfect, and multi-scale: multiple sites, timepoints, chemistries, and outcomes, often stitched together from different sources.
We focus on effect sizes, uncertainty, and mechanisms — not just p-values — so that vegetation, soil, and climate responses can be interpreted in biological and operational terms.
From leaf traits to landscape patterns
Our background spans ecophysiology, forestry, and agronomy, enabling analyses that link leaf-level processes and plant traits to plot-level yields and regional distributions.
Whether you are testing a new fumigant program, evaluating a microbial product, or asking how climate conditions reshape vegetation performance, we help connect the dots.
