DEMANDS ON OUR LAND: 5 SOIL FUNCTIONS
Primary Productivity
Nutrient CyclingHabitat for functional
and intrinsic biodiversity
Carbon sequestration and climate regulation
Water regulation and
purification
All soils / land perform all functions …but different parts of the
land(scape/management) are better at delivering different functions
www.landmark2020.eu email [email protected] twitter @Landmark2020
Objective: to quantify the supply of soil functions across the EU as determined by
soil properties, land use and soil management practices.

PROJECT OUTCOMES
Pillar 1: Farm scale: Develop an agricultural Decision Support Tool (DST) for soil management – the Soil Navigator
Pillar 2: Country scale: Design a monitoring scheme for Soil Functions that is applicable at regional scale, for a range of soil types, land uses and pedo-climatic zones;
Pillar 3: EU scale: Develop a policy framework for ‘Functional Land Management’ at European scale that aims to optimise the sustainable use of Europe’s soil resource
