Soil as sustainable resource
The BONARES 2023 conference will bring together researchers from various disciplines related to soil and plant sciences and agronomy to discuss strategies towards a (multi)functionality of soil ecosystems taking also constraints of climate and global change into account. The conference aims at providing solutions for a sustainable soil management including climate change adaptation, which requires an understanding of soils at a systemic level and to assess their value in a socio-economic framework.
The conference will focus on eight specific topics this edition:
- Impact of agriculture and cropping systems on soil functions
- Carbon and nutrient cycling in soils: Processes and interactions in a changing world
- Soil biomes and multifunctionality of soils
- Soil degradation and sustainable soil management in agricultural landscapes
- Model-based prediction of the dynamics of soil functions
- Using soil sensing technologies for soil mapping, modelling and decision making in agriculture
- Soils as a key to climate change mitigation: private and public governance instruments to unlock the potential
- Data challenges and solutions
