BIOservicES: Understanding soil life for healthier ecosystems

#Agriculture #Soil #sustainable
Soil is a complex living system shaped by billions of organisms interacting below the surface. This hidden biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystems and the services they provide to society.

Our project focuses on understanding how soil organisms, from microorganisms to soil fauna, drive essential ecosystem functions such as nutrient cycling, water regulation, soil structure, and carbon dynamics. These processes underpin key benefits for people, including sustainable agriculture, water purification, and climate regulation.

By examining how land use and climate change influence soil life, BIOservicES aims to improve the monitoring and management of soil biodiversity. The project delivers scientific evidence, indicators, and tools that support healthier soils, stronger ecosystems, and long-term environmental and economic resilience.

Protecting soil life is fundamental to securing healthy soils and sustainable landscapes.
