📣It's out! The EU Soil Observatory team is pleased to present its new dashboard assessing the state of #soil health in the 🇪🇺. Combining 15 EU-wide scientific datasets (more in the future), it shows that 61.5% of EU soils are unhealthy

#Soil is the foundation of our ecosystems

🐛 It hosts biodiversity

🥕 provides food

💧 cleans water

🌱 and captures carbon

That's why the EU Soil Observatory collects data on soil health across the EU and makes it available online ↓
#WorldSoilDay #SaveSoil

[Diana Vieira @Dicasivi]

Today we had the opportunity to show our #soil archives at @EU_ScienceHub once again.
@euso_soil holds an enormous knowledge, allowing to demonstrate how #EU soils are #diverse.
Tomorrow the 3rd #EUSO stakeholder forum begins, I count with you to explore this amazing universe.💪

[alberto_orgiazzi @lultimoalbero]

What? 3rd 🇪🇺 Soil Stakeholders Forum

When? 15-17 Nov 23

Where? Online

How? 6 sessions: soil erosion, carbon, pollution, monitoring & awareness, data and biodiversity

Who? Scientists, policy-makers, industry, farmers and...

...you! Free registration➡️https://t.co/kFcbu0uMFW

[alberto_orgiazzi @lultimoalbero]

The @EU_Commission would like to hear your views on the proposal for a Soil Monitoring and Resilience law🇪🇺🤎

Read the proposal➡️ https://t.co/cQ02LTdUy2

Have your say➡️https://t.co/DmvmM5jlbH

Deadline: 28 Sept 2023

[EU Joint Research Centre @EU_JRC]

More than 6⃣0⃣% of #EUSoils are degraded⤵️

❓Can we achieve healthy soils by 2050?

The soil health law, proposed today, is here to reverse the trend through

🔸harmonised definition of soil
🔸monitoring framework
🔸rules on sustainable management

Today we build the #EUGreenDeal from the ground up!

Literally.

Let’s talk about how we can strengthen soil resilience to help us fight droughts, floods & wildfires, & how we can tackle textile & food waste.

🟢 LIVE at +/- 12:45 CET with @TimmermansEU

@Dicasivi @EU_ScienceHub @PanosPanagos33 @SimonShoe74 @C_Schillaci Well done!!

[Diana Vieira @Dicasivi]

Do you know that #EUSO #Soil #Health Dashboard, now includes areas affected by #wildfires?
Burned #soils are sensitive to additional degradation processes. Using vegetation recovery as proxy, these soils are now identified annually since 2017.

@EU_ScienceHub presents the First-ever assessment of soil microbial distribution 🐛🐜🪳 in Europe 🇪🇺 . Higher diversity was found in more anthropic soils (cropland)🥦🌿. Collaboration with @vandeHeijdenLab @UZH_en. Just published in @NatureComms https://t.co/rsOd41Ad0P

The EU aims to tackle soil degradation ⬇️

@EU_ScienceHub’s new mapping tool underpins the EU🇪🇺 legislation ⚖️ that is in the making, and helps to define monitoring, rules for sustainable use & restoration goals 👉 https://t.co/wb7MZiIvHy #GSB2023 #soilhealth #EUbiodiversity

[EU Joint Research Centre @EU_JRC]

Key #soil threats in 🇪🇺
⚠️erosion
⚠️floods & landslides
⚠️organic matter loss
⚠️salinisation
⚠️contamination
⚠️compaction
⚠️sealing
⚠️biodiversity loss
Our dashboard maps unhealthy soils & related degradation to support restoration 👉 https://t.co/eNUPJO8pAZ #GSB2023 #SoilHealth

[Virginijus Sinkevičius @VSinkevicius]

New @EU_ScienceHub soil health dashboard.

For the first time we can view the state of soil health & the extent of degradation in the EU.

At least 61% of our soils are unhealthy and this new tool comes as great support to our upcoming 🇪🇺 Soil Health Law.
