Help SOB4ES help soil biodiversity

As part of the SOB4ES project and its ongoing efforts to test the cost-effectiveness of published indicators for Soil Biodiversity, the project developed two surveys to gather insights from key stakeholders, including land managers, researchers, policy makers, industry representatives, retailers, and advisors. The SOB4ES project we has already collected cost estimates from all SOB4ES partners involved in the field sampling for the whole range of indicators sampled, and now needs your input to assess the “effectiveness”-side of soil biodiversity structural indicators.

Your expertise and perspective are invaluable to this work. SOB4ES would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your views.

Are you a scientific expert in the area of soil biodiversity indicators?

Help SOB4ES to identify the technical characteristics of different indicators and how well they are applied to different land uses and ecosystem services. Completing this survey requires some scientific knowledge regarding different SOB indicators.

The survey should take less than 20 minutes to complete.

Are you someone who might implement or use soil biodiversity indicators in monitoring programmes to support decision making?

Help us to identify the importance of different criteria that relate to the use of indicators in cross-land use/biome/country measuring and monitoring programmes
