Project description DEENESFRITPL Preserving our planet's vital soil resources Beneath our feet, a hidden crisis is unfolding. Crucial for ecosystem functions and services, soils are at risk, facing increasing pressures from land use changes, inappropriate management, and climate shifts. In this context, the EU-funded BIOservicES project aims to decode the intricate relationship between soil organisms, land use and management, and climate change. To assess their impacts and develop innovative tools for sustainable land management, BIOservicES will identify the pressures and drivers influencing soil life. To explore the relationship between soil organisms, soil structure, and ecosystem functions and services, the project will develop new indicators, digital tools, and models for climate-resilient land management practices. Moreover, it will take a collaborative approach with experimental sites spanning eight land uses and five biogeographic regions. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The main objective of BIOservicES is to understand the interconnection between soil organisms (virus, bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, nematodes, microarthropods, earthworms, isopods, millipedes, insects and spiders) and the delivery of multiple soil ecosystem functions and services at different scales (field vs landscape), identifying the pressures and drivers resulting from different land uses and climate change, and performing an economic valuation of the contribution of soil organisms to ecosystem services. BIOservicES will also deepen in the relationship between soil organisms and soil structure, and how this interaction is affected by land use and management intensity, to contribute to the Soil Mission objective 6 “Improve soil structure to enhance habitat quality for soil biota and crops”. BIOservisES will thus deliver new knowledge, new indicators based on soil organisms and the ecosystem functions and services in which they are involved and digital decision-support tools and models to help design climate resilient management practices and monitoring/conservation/restoration programmes adapted to a range of environments (land uses and biogeographic regions) across Europe, to maintain and foster the multiple soil ecosystem functions and services in which soil organisms are involved. It will also give relevance to soil health and soil ecosystem functions and services delivered by soil organisms in the update of EU and National legislations. For this, BIOservicES is using experimental sites across 8 land uses and 5 biogeographic regions from Europe, as central hubs for co-creation and co-design (multi-actor approach, responsible research and innovation (RRI) and open science) Fields of science natural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesenvironmental sciencessustainability sciencesnatural sciencesbiological sciencesmicrobiologymycologynatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencessoil sciencesland-based treatmentnatural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystemsnatural sciencesbiological scienceszoologyentomologynatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesatmospheric sciencesclimatologyclimatic changes Keywords land uses pressures climate change adaptation soil functions economic valuation incentives stakeholders engagement Programme(s) HORIZON.2.6 - Food, Bioeconomy Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Main Programme HORIZON.2.2 - Culture, creativity and inclusive society HORIZON.2.4 - Digital, Industry and Space HORIZON.2.3 - Civil Security for Society Topic(s) HORIZON-MISS-2022-SOIL-01-03 - Soil biodiversity and its contribution to ecosystem services Call for proposal HORIZON-MISS-2022-SOIL-01 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme HORIZON-RIA - HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions Coordinator UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE CARTAGENA Net EU contribution € 1 391 062,50 Address PLAZA DEL CRONISTA ISIDORO VALVERDE EDIFICIO LA MILAGROSA 30202 Cartagena Spain See on map Region Sur Región de Murcia Murcia Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 1 391 062,50 Participants (17) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSIDAD DE VIGO Spain Net EU contribution € 686 875,00 Address LG CAMPUS LAGOAS MARCOSENDE 36310 Vigo Pontevedra See on map Region Noroeste Galicia Pontevedra Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 686 875,00 LGI SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION France Net EU contribution € 518 125,00 Address 6 CITE DE L'AMEUBLEMENT 75011 Paris See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
