How does soil fauna contribute to soil health, and how can we better monitor and integrate it into biodi versity assessment frameworks?

This webinar will brin g together researchers and experts from leading EU projects and insti tutions to explore the ecological role of soil meso- and macrofauna, along side current advances and challenges in soil biodiversity monitoring.

< p>From earthworms and springtails to larger soil invertebrates, these orga nisms play essential roles in nutrient cycling, organic matter decompositi on, soil structure formation, and ecosystem resilience. Yet monitoring and integrating soil fauna into soil health assessment frameworks remains a s ignificant scientific and operational challenge.

Through perspective s ranging from ecology and monitoring methodologies to national monitoring systems and citizen science initiatives, the session will explore how soi l fauna can contribute to more robust biodiversity assessment and soil hea lth monitoring across Europe.

With contributions from: SOB4ES, BIOservicES, INRAE and SoilRise

The session will highlight:

Ecological roles of soil meso- and macrofauna
Traditional, morphological, and molecular ap proaches for soil fauna assessment
Earthworms and soil biodiversi ty monitoring
National-scale soil biodiversity monitoring framewo rks
Citizen science and participatory monitoring approaches
Perspectives for integrating soil fauna into soil health and biodivers ity frameworks
