About the project
SUSTAINABLE SOIL MANAGEMENT TO UNLEASH SOIL BIODIVERSITY POTENTIAL AND INCREASE ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING.
SOILGUARD envisages a future where the conservation of soil biodiversity and the environmental, economic and social well-being of EU biogeographical regions is guaranteed. Unsustainable management and climate change are increasing land degradation and threatening soil biodiversity. Urgent action is required to mainstream sustainable soil management practices and the perception of soil biodiversity as a key nature-based solution to face land degradation and climate change stressors. The efficacy of this call to action depends on addressing major knowledge gaps related to biodiversity and soil-mediated ecosystem services. Soil biodiversity assessment emerges as a key challenge to be overcome.
