Submission Portal for Main Subsection Topics

The overall objective of this document is the development of a manuscript that identifies, explains, and demonstrates good management practices to conserve soil biodiversity and its ecological functions, and limits soil biodiversity loss. The manual will:
 
  • introduce a set of principles, practices, and case studies that address the conservation of biodiversity in consideration of the main threats to soil biodiversity;
  • present a range of soil conservation practices to maintain or restore soil biodiversity;
  • outline the mechanisms by which proposed best practices work while considering the historic land use and long-term plan for the land base;
  • provide case studies across a wide range of farming types, geographical regions, soil types, and primary threats and stressors.
 
In doing so, this document also links to other Working Group agendas within NETSOB, specifically on establishing baseline biodiversity data (Working Group 1), incentivising best practices among land users (Working Group 3), and the development and implementation of governmental and intergovernmental policies and agendas (Working Group 4).
