Maier presented 'In situ tracking of soil invisibles: Simultaneous monitoring of soil microbes, soil chemicals, and soil gases'.

Pfingstl presented 'BIOMES: The Pillars of Soil – Monitoring and Documenting Arthropod Soil Biodiversity to Assess Soil Quality and Implement Measures for Soil Management and Renaturation'.

The research projects align with the EU mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’, which aims to establish sustainable soil management in urban and rural areas. 🔗 research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/fund...

With the next field work, we’re excited to return to this stunning alpine environment - a breath-taking but challenging place to work.
