Team Underpants was a citizen-science soil health experiment performed in three of Shoreham Yards’ surrounding buffers in Northeast Minneapolis. Friends, colleagues, and community members helped bury then exhume almost 100 pairs of underpants. The degraded outcome of this process roughly visualizes the existence and activity level of naturally occurring soil bacteria, fungi and nematodes. It is affected by solar exposure which greatly increases the rate at which decomposition occurs. We mapped it using arcGIS software.
