Increasing environmental resilience through a better knowledge and management of the soil-water nexus
Horizon Europe
Program Code: HORIZON-MISS-2025-05-SOIL-03
Program Type: Research and Innovation Action
Research Areas: Identify the soil properties and associated indicators (e.g., structure, bulk density, porosity, depth, organic matter, buffering etc.) and factors (e.g., slope, frost, cover, drainage network, etc.) that determine soil-water dynamics and are relevant for the probability and virulence of extreme events. The use of remote sensing techniques is encouraged for soil factors identification. Assess the impact of the different soil factors on soil biodiversity, considering different pedoclimatic areas and land uses in the EU and Associated countries. Develop and validate new models (or substantially improve existing ones) at watershed/landscape level that integrate the functional role of soil biodiversity in soil-water interactions. Assess and validate strategies to increase environmental resilience by improving the soil-water nexus through restoration, conservation and management of soil and its biodiversity, considering the different pedoclimatic areas and land uses in the EU and Associated Countries.
Total Funding Available: €6M for 1 project
