We received nearly 300 excellent abstracts and are now making the final touches to the scientific program 🤩 The only difficult task is to select the oral presentations from all the interesting topics.

Today is #IntlForestDay!

Let’s take the occasion to celebrate these ecosystems and the ground where they grow since there would be no #forest without the #soil beneath the trees 🌳🌱

Learn more about #ForestSoils and the work #HoliSoils is making for them on our website ➡️ holisoils.eu
