Soil Transformations in European Catchments


Category

FP7 Project with U.S. partner

Short name and number

SoilTrEC (244118)

Area

Environment including Climate change

Description

SoilTrEC proposes to develop an integrated model of soil processes that describes key soil functions. These functions are defined in the EC Soil Thematic Strategy as essential ecosystem services for the well-being and economic success of the EU. The key science advances are to develop, from first-principles, computational models that integrate soil erosion, solute transport, carbon dynamics and food web dynamics within an open-source modelling framework.

Participating Countries

Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Sweden, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, Switzerland, Iceland and China.

Name of US Partner

The Pennsylvania State University
