Research project NG| Holistic management practices, modelling and monitoring for European forest soils (HoliSoils)
Forest management can contribute to climate mitigation, but we still do not know how forest soils respond to management and disturbances. This project will address this question by synthesizing knowledge on soils across European forests.
HoliSoils will provide an improved, integrated, and harmonised monitoring and modelling framework for forest soils across Europe. The project will identify and test soil management practices aiming to mitigate climate change and sustain provision of various ecosystem services essential for human livelihoods and wellbeing. Through a collaborative, multi-actor approach, the multidisciplinary consortium brings leading expertise on soil analysis and databases, development of advanced analytical techniques, complex system modelling, digital soil mapping, soil ecology, disturbance ecology, forest and greenhouse gas inventories, social sciences, and communications.
