Functions in EU Thematic Strategy:

  • Primary productivity: food, fibre, fuel
  • Water regulation & purification
  • Carbon regulation & sequestration
  • Habitat for functional & intrinsic biodiversity
  • Nutrient Cycling
  • (Archeological archive)
  • (Building platform)

All soils / land perform all functions… …but different parts of the land(scape) are better at delivering different functions

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

  • 1. Farm scale: Develop an agricultural

Decision Support Tool (DST) for soil management

  • 2. Country scale: Design a monitoring scheme

for Soil Functions that is applicable at regional scale, for a range of soil types, land uses and pedo-climatic zones;

  • 3. EU scale: Develop a policy framework for

‘Functional Land Management’ at European scale that aims to optimise the sustainable use of Europe’s soil resource
