Abstract

Key message

A Soil Monitoring Law to improve soil health across all land uses has been proposed by the European Commission. As forests soils have different chemical and physical properties as well as biogeochemical dynamics compared to agricultural land, they also face different challenges in maintaining and restoring soil health. Examples are soil acidification, eutrophication by atmospheric deposition, responses to climate change, and loss of biodiversity. Therefore, we propose forest soil specific health descriptors and thresholds based on experience and knowledge from existing long-term monitoring programs.

有必要在计划制定的欧盟土壤监测法中更好地考虑森林土壤问题

关键信息欧洲委员会提出了一项旨在改善所有土地用途的土壤健康的《土壤监测法》。与农业用地相比，森林土壤具有不同的化学和物理特性以及生物地球化学动态，因此在保持和恢复土壤健康方面也面临着不同的挑战。例如，土壤酸化、大气沉降造成的富营养化、对气候变化的反应以及生物多样性的丧失。因此，我们根据现有长期监测项目的经验和知识，提出了森林土壤特定健康描述指标和阈值。
