Description
The internal EJP SOIL project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales. By co-working with relevant stakeholders, the project provided co-developed indicators and associated cookbooks to assess and map them, to report both on soil degradation, soil-based ecosystem services and their bundles, under actual conditions and for climate and land-use changes, at the regional, national, and European scales.
Abstract (English)
The poster presents the objectives of the project that are to develop knowledge, tools and an integrated research community to foster climate-smart sustainable agri-cultural soil management.
Notes (English)
Disclaimer:
The data are derived from the calculation of indicators based on a standard methodology established as part of the EJP Soil SERENA programme. Please keep in mind that:
- It is the result of a modelling exercise and does not necessarily reflect reality.
- Despite the efforts made to provide reliable data, the results may contain inconsistencies, depending in particular on the raw data available and level of accuracy and prior knowledge of the technical choices made.
- It is necessary to consider how the results have been obtained in order to decide on their relevance in relation to the intended purpose of reuse.
- These results are interesting from a scientific point of view, but their use for environmental management and policy issues should be done keeping the previous aspects in mind and complementing when necessary the provided results with the best available data.
Finally, it is the responsibility of the users of this information to decide whether it is appropriate to use these data and whether the data meet their needs. The authors of this resource can in no way be held responsible for the results obtained from the use of this data.
