The Platform

SIEUSOIL will design, implement and test a shared China-EU Web Observatory platform that will provide Linked (Open) Data to monitor status and threats of soil and land resources, thereby supporting decision making for sustainable and climate-resilient agroecosystems and sustainable land management.

The Observatory platform will support effective management of soil at field level through customizable modules, and will highlight good practices of soil management across EU and China. The final target is to support sustainable soil management, increase land and water productivity sustainably, reduce crop yield variability across time and space, and support the policy formulation process. Innovative practices and tools are tested and their impact is assessed for improved carbon sequestration, soil fertility and land productivity.
