What are the main soil health challenges in forest land-use across Europe? As part of the NATIOONS project, SLU organizes the fifth thematic event in a series of six, where we focus on soil health from a forest land-use perspective. Warmly welcome!
Considering the role of soils in mitigating climate change, the European Union has commissioned new soil directives with a new soil deal for Europe where 100 living labs focusing on soil health and different land uses will be established. Forestry is a vital economic activity for many nations and is also highly reliant on soils, which is a vital component for regulating ecosystem processes. As part of the soil awareness campaign, this event will focus on understanding the interactions between forestry and soil properties directly and indirectly. We would like to initiate discussions about how the concepts of soil health and living labs could be understood and applied within forestry and across forested landscapes.
In this event, we will focus on:
