Mobile Laboratory Revolutionizes Environmental Fieldwork in Saudi Arabia

The mobile laboratory is a cutting-edge tool transforming environmental fieldwork to support national initiatives to plant 10 billion trees and rehabilitate 40 million hectares of degraded land.

 Launched by the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification, the lab provides real-time environmental analysis and monitoring, enabling field teams to collect accurate on-site data, enhancing decision-making efficiency and advancing sustainability efforts.

 Its key objectives include conducting precise analyses of soil, water, and plants, monitoring factors affecting natural regeneration, supporting environmental rehabilitation, reducing seedling loss in afforestation projects, and enabling continuous monitoring of vegetation cover through real-time data collection.

 Equipped with advanced tools for soil analysis, water quality monitoring, and plant health assessment, the lab ensures accurate data collection linked to the center’s database. Beyond technical capabilities, it strategically supports national afforestation and environmental rehabilitation goals, contributing to the Saudi Green Initiative and enhancing the Kingdom's position in sustainable environmental solutions.
