The Mission Soil-funded project, SOB4ES, is inviting experts to contribute to the assessment of the cost effectiveness of soil biodiversity indicators.
The project team developed two surveys to gather insights from key stakeholders, including land managers, researchers, policy makers, industry representatives, retailers, and advisors. The SOB4ES team has already collected cost estimates from all SOB4ES partners involved in the field sampling for the whole range of indicators sampled – now they are looking for input from key stakeholders to assess the “effectiveness”-side of soil biodiversity structural indicators.
Are you a scientific expert in the area of soil biodiversity indicators?
Help the SOB4ES team to identify the technical characteristics of different indicators and how well they are applied to different land uses and ecosystem services. Completing this survey requires some scientific knowledge regarding different SOB indicators.

Are you someone who might implement or use soil biodiversity indicators in monitoring programmes to support decision making?
Help the SOB4ES team to identify the importance of different criteria that relate to the use of indicators in cross-land use/biome/country measuring and monitoring programmes
