AI4SoilHealth - an open access European-wide digital infrastructure for monitoring and forecasting soil health indicators

Healthy soils enable a healthy life. They secure our food supply, filter drinking water, serve as habitats for countless organisms, and act as reservoirs for rainfall and atmospheric carbon.

Background and Objective

But how healthy are our soils, and how is soil health evolving in Europe?

Approach

We aim to explore this question within the European collaborative project 'AI4SoilHealth'. Our goal is to create a user-friendly digital platform that will be openly accessible to everyone. This platform will combine artificial intelligence (AI) and a vast repository of environmental training data to describe soil health across Europe spatially-explicit.

The Thünen-Institute is actively contributing to the development of novel spatio-temporal maps for illustrating trends of soil health in Europe. Additionally, we are working on long-term forecasts for future soil organic carbon stocks in the era of climate change.
