Ecological Function and Biodiversity Indicators in European Soils (ECOFINDERS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
The strategic goal of EcoFINDERS is to provide the EC with tools to design and implement soil strategies aimed at ensuring sustainable use of soils, including: i) Characterisation of European soil biodiversity; ii) Determination of relations between soil biodiversity, soil functions and ecosystem services; iii) Design of policy-relevant and cost-effective indicators for monitoring soil biodiversit ...

Coordination of national environment and health research programmes - Environment and health ERA-NET (ERA-ENVHEALTH)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"It is estimated that around 20% of the burden of disease in industrialized countries can be attributed to environmental factors, and the magnitude of the problem is perceived by the majority of Europeans. The assessment of health impacts is based mostly on scarce exposure data and limited information on the relationship between exposure and health. There is, therefore, a need to strengthen resear ...

"Conflicting demands of land use, soil biodiversity and the sustainable delivery of ecosystem goods and services in Europe" (SOILSERVICE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
"European soil biodiversity is pivotal for delivering food, fiber and biofuels and carbon storage. However, the demand is greater than the amount of soil available, as production of biofuels competes with areas for food production and nature. Moreover, intensified land use reduces soil biodiversity and the resulting ecosystem services. SOILSERVICE will value soil biodiversity through the impact on ...
