MIcro- and NAno-Plastics in AGRIricultural Soils: sources, environmental fate and impacts on ecosystem services and overall sustainability

Leistungen

In case of crisis outbreak eg COVID19 that would lead to major modifications of the project agenda or endanger the successful completions of its results WU together with the partners will prepare a crisisadjusted plan to adapt the project workplan to the crisis situation ensuring maximum completion of the project objectives and at the same time safeguarding partners safety and security

Assessment of AKIS for plastic use in agriculture and user demands finalized

D82 Assessment of AKIS for plastic use in agriculture and user demands finalizedDrawing on existing literature workshops with case study stakeholders and expert interviews with the HLMAN an assessment will be undertaken of the AKIS with respect to plastic use in soil The assessment will consider the current sources of knowledge the key influencers and intermediaries of knowledge and dissemination and advisory activities with respect to plastic use identify how farmers are supported and currently obtain information about potential soil contamination and alternative or best practice techniques and identifyassess their knowledge needs and user demands generally This assessment will inform the development of the DC Strategy Task 83 by identifying current gaps in knowledge advice and dissemination examples of best practice and key principles for effective knowledge exchange in the community of plastic users Critically it will ensure that projects outputs are integrated into existing activities and speed up translation into practice in line with the aims of EIPAGRI The review will take place at the EU national and regional study site level This task links closely with WP2 and WP7

Protocol for multi-scale experiments

D41 Protocol for multiscale experimentsTo determine the effects of MNP on soil biota a set of experiments will be performed at three scales Soil biota measurements especially at field level and for specific pot experiments will be supported by soil physicochemical and plant measurements WP5 and MNP levels determination WP61Soil lab experiments no plants 34 soils ca 100 g from soils sampled at CSS in WP3 or characterized control soils in WP5 with variable physicochemical characteristics will be used For each soil three different MNP types selected based on WP3 data to cover 90 of the type of plastics identified in WP3 inventory and CSS applied at rates plus a no plastics control either alone or in combination with three pesticidesveterinary drugs will be tested FUB UTH INRAE and WU will undertake these experiments2Pot experiments coanalysed WP4 5 and 6 34 soils as in lab experiments with plants common with WP5 will be tested 3 different MNP types as in lab experiments applied at 3 rates plus a no plastics control either individually or in combination with three pesticideveterinary drugs will be tested These experiments will be performed by FUB UCSC and UTH questioning effects on soil microbiota and by WU USCS addressing effects on soil fauna3Field experiments coanalysed WP4 5 and 6 3 experimental platforms will be involved Wageningen NL Atlantic region managed by WU Dijon FR Continental region managed by INRAE and Crete EL Mediterranean region managed by CHQ Effects of 2 MNP types will be tested at two rates plus an untreated control in combination or not with one pesticidesveterinary drug in a completely randomized plot design with 3 reps per treatment summing to 24 3 untreated plots Each field experimental site will be supported by at least two groups for the measurements of soil fauna WU UCSC and soil microbiota UTH UCSC CHQ site FUB UTH WU site INRAE FUB INRAE site

Monitoring plan (including guidelines for CSS characterisation and stakeholder's involvement via the MAPs)

D23 Monitoring plan including guidelines for CSS characterisation and stakeholders involvement via the MAPsThis task will produce guidelines for comprehensive and standardized assessment of the environmental status and socioeconomic dimension at all CSSs The plan will specify what will be monitored with which methods and indicators how often including replicates at which scale and by whom Task 23 will compile standardized methods to assess baseline and a minimum data set to assess soil quality chemical physical and biological properties and site characteristics as well as soil biodiversity In addition Task 23 will provide the necessary information on the plastics to be used for field and lab experiments eg type amount concentration supplier in collaboration with plastic experts within and beyond the MINAGRIS project Baseline indicators will be selected from the WOCAT questionnaire as well as the iSQAPER LANDMARK and SoilCare H2020 projects The outlined methods will enable the assessment of the environments vulnerability to plastic pollution as well as the sources flows and distribution of plastics provided by WP3 and included in the monitoring plan and facilitate the comparison between all sites of different pedoclimatic conditions to ensure representativeness at a larger scale The monitoring plan will be used for all activities regarding the assessment of environmental and socioeconomic dimensions WP37 The monitoring plan will also provide guidelines and tools to involve and engage stakeholders in the activities occurring at the CSS level during all steps of the project according to the participatory approach based on MAPs defined in T21 Using the monitoring plan soil quality and site characteristics will be assessed together with the relevant stakeholders to ensure the applicability of project outcomes The results will serve to evidence activities impact enabling dialogue with policymakers WP8

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
