Framework for quantifying impacts of MNP use on ESS

D7.1 Framework for quantifying impacts of MNP use on ESSWe will adapt and extend available state-of-the-art assessment approaches to (a) associate ESS with life cycle emissions, (b) overcome incomplete cause-effect chains related to soil ecosystems, and (c) consider all relevant impacts from MNP emissions into soil. DTU will consistently link indicators defined in WPs 2-6 for relating MNP pollution with effects on soil chemistry, physics and biodiversity to soil ESS. As input (via the Task 2.4 database), we will use impact results from (i) WP4 of MNP effects on soil microorganisms and fauna, and (ii) WP5 of MNP effects on soil physics, chemistry and plant productivity and physiology (inputs delivered by NVM, FiBL-AT, CDE-UB, FIBL-CH). T7.1 result will be integrated along with T7.2 and 7.3 results into the farm-level decision support tool developed in T7.4.

Gender equality report

D1.4: Gender equality reportFirst, all partners will be informed about the unspoken societal rules which currently dictate the role of the gender aspects in research and innovation. This will include an information and sensitisation session on gender issues during the kick-off meeting. Furthermore, we will initiate an inventory of gender equality among the CSS stakeholders to identify the number of women and men involved in the project including their positions, roles, decision-making and perceptions on the use of plastics in farming. Data collection in WP3 and WP7 will be performed gender sensitive. Gender disaggregated, i.e. specific subgroup analyses will be performed under the coordination of WP2 CSS management.

Intentional use, unintentional input, types and sources of plastics on and in the soil in agricultural practices in the EU

D3.3 Intentional use, unintentional input, types and sources of plastics on and in the soil in EU agricultural systemsThe methodology to determine the quantity and the quality (e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyurethanes, synthetic oxo- and photo-degradable plastics, and biodegradable plastics) of plastic residues in soil will be standardized and included in the monitoring plan (T2.4).MaP will be analysed by reflectance and size and shape will be recorded by photography.MP will be analysed by density separation of the samples before analysing the MP fraction by spectroscopy which allows a full characterisation (composition, size, shape, number of particles) of plastic. Furthermore, POLITO will analyse MP by thermal approaches, which will cross-validate previous methods and address specific questions in terms of MP degradation, additives etc.NP: Infrared or Raman spectroscopy are normally used in MP research but are limited to the >1-10 μm range. UBERN-GIUB is currently developing a method for the extraction of NP from soils. This method in combination with the thermal analysis methods (POLITO) will allow for a quantification of NP at the CSS and at WP4-6 experiments. Furthermore, NP from selected samples would be analysed by scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) and x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) to analyse the size, shape and polymer type of NP particles. These methods will be further developed by UBERN-GIUB, POLITO, WU and WR, and validated by recovery tests with a variety of different polymers.

MINAGRIS visual identity and project website

D81 MINAGRIS visual identity and project websiteWe will establish a project website to a communicate information about the project aims and news newsworthy facts and a biannual newsletter b to act as a platform for disseminating information developed within the project deliverables and other outputs It will be designed to suit all relevant audiences including researchers policy makers stakeholders and general public We will also set up and maintain a secure intranet section which will be accessible only by the partners and restricted users This will facilitate protected dissemination of information eg scientific data announcements and registration for meetings and workshops management plan meeting agendasminutes tools for writing andor downloading project reports training materials The site will also provide a platform for CSS knowledge exchange Specific mailing lists will enable targeted communication between the partners of the project and within WP Teams The project manager will maintain this website and intranet portal At the same time a project visual identity will be established to be used on all project communications and dissemination outputs A professional designer from EQY will work with members of WU to provide a logo with a complete graphical charter

Use of a smartphone app as a tool for participative detecting and monitoring of visually recognisable plastic remainders in soils

D3.4 Use of a smartphone app as a tool for participative detecting and monitoring of visually recognisable plastic remainders in soils. Month 20, 48Task 3.4 Baseline assessment of soil quality and the levels of MaP, MP and NP in the CSSTask leader: POLITO | Participant(s): WU, FiBL-CH, POLITO, WR, GIUB, | Timing: M3-142 fields per CSS farm will be selected according to the information on the frequency and duration of plastic use (T3.2). These 2 fields will be selected following farmer indications and to obtain the most relevant contrast in each farm: one with high plastic inputs and one without.Task 3.4.1: Sampling at the CSS Concerning samples, they are expected to be close to 440: 11 CSS with 10 farms; in each farm, 4 samples (2 per identified fields) will be collected according to homogenized sampling schemes defined in WP2. Due to the uneven plastic distribution in soils, we need to develop a representative soil sampling strategy based on soil sampling protocol norms (ISO 18400-104). This will involve testing of the horizontal and vertical variability to define the number of samples and the sampling depth. Task 3.4.2: Baseline for future assessment of soil qualityIn parallel to the survey conducted at the CSS, selected fields will be characterized using standardized chemical, physical and biological methods for soil quality assessment provided by the monitoring plan. Specified laboratories among the MINAGRIS team will run measurements, related to MNP and other pollutants, They will receive the samples according to the specific requirements of the method (moist, frozen, dried and sieved). Selected sites will be assessed in situ for future experiments with water infiltration and flows (WP5-6) and the abundance of soil invertebrates (WP4).Task 3.4.3: Baseline assessment of MaP, MP and NP in soils at the CSS The methods for MaP and MP (T3.3) will be applied to samples taken according to T3.4.1. At certain sites based on soil quality and MP load, NP will be quantified by GIUB, POLITO, WU and WR (methods elaborated in T3.3). Certain CSS will be revisited towards the end of the project to verify new methodologies or for back to the field validation of the experiments conducted in WP5 and WP6.
