Use

There are two ways to use the Ecology skills:

• Single point sample tests
• Ecology Survey Kits.

Ecology factors can be adjusted by hand-planting vegetables: https://atitd.wiki/tale10/Vegetable
Emptying containers of salt water and sulphurous water onto the ground also has an effect, but this information has been deleted in the name of "cleaning up the wiki". Good luck finding it now.

Single Point Tests

Degree	Test for	Using	Baseline	Notes
First	Heavy metal pollution	1+ Tadpoles ✓	0%	The more tadpoles die, the more heavy metals there are in the soil. If more tadpoles are used, the reading becomes more precise.
Second	Soil acidity	1 Cabbage Juice ✓	7.0000	Standard pH scale. (Below 7 is acidic. Above 7 is alkaline.)
Third	Ground water level	1 Dried Flax ✓	50%
Fourth	Phosphorus level	1 Buttermilk ✓, 1 Dirt ✓	25%
Fifth	Soot level	1 Papyrus Paper ✓, 1 Cactus Sap ✓	0%
Sixth - A	Nitrogen Level	1 Horned Hookworm ✓, 2 Charcoal ✓	25%
Sixth - B	Potassium Level	1 Sulphurous Water ✓, 2 Charcoal ✓	25%
Seventh	Salinity	1 Salt Water ✓, 1 Copper Wire ✓	0%

Ecology Survey Kits

Ecology Survey Kits are made on a chemistry lab, requiring Ecology 6 (Skill). Five kits are made at a time.

• Select the Ecology type you want and see a colored grid for 2 minutes.
• Colors on 500' x 500' grid represent levels.
