Interaction of soil procesess across spatiotemporal scales

Development and verification of local measures for the long-term support of soil organisms and desirable groups of invertebrates on intensively farmed land

Project number: SS07010439

Main beneficiary: Biology Centre CAS

Principal investigator: Prof. Ing. Mgr. Jan Frouz, CSc. 

Other beneficiaries: Palacký University in Olomouc / Faculty of Science, Landscape Research Institute, PRO

Project duration: 01. 04. 2024 - 31. 12. 2026

The aim of the project: The aim of the proposed project is the evaluation of existing agroenvironmental measures (both those that are part of the current common agriculture policy and relevant national measures as well as the other innovative measures recommended in international and national literature) and the proposal of perspective measures from the point of view of supporting soil organisms and desirable groups of invertebrates on intensively farmed areas. This will help to slow down the loss of biodiversity and support the ecosystem functions of soil invertebrates. This knowledge will be organised in a way that it can be easily used in the planning of appropriate agro-environmental measures and relevant national policies.

This project has been financed with the state support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic within the Environment for Life Programme .
