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.
