Main objectives

Questions that the technical working group will address:  

1. What are policy needs on soil biodiversity? Which are the links between soil biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services? How soil biodiversity can be included into soil health assessment?

2. How do we integrate national, EU and global monitoring schemes for soil biodiversity?  

3. How is soil biodiversity doing? Is soil biodiversity declining? Do we have evidence of that?  

4. How do we convert the available knowledge on soil biodiversity into indicators that can be easily applied to policy development and implementation?

Expected output(s): report(s) and/or policy brief(s)
