Sustainable farm Management Aimed at reducing Threats to Soils under climate change (SmartSOIL project)

Description:

SmartSOIL focuses on arable and mixed farming systems in Europe and will develop an innovative approach using the soil Carbon (C) flow and stocks concept to assess the impact of C management on crop productivity, soil organic C (SOC) stocks and other ecosystem services. SmartSOIL will develop a decision support tool (DST) to enable farmers, advisors and policy makers to discuss and select the most appropriate and cost-effective practices for particular farming systems, soils and climates - in a smart way (SmartSOIL).
