External organic matters for climate mitigation and soil health
Abstract
The EOM4SOIL project will include 3 main parts: - The first part on EOM characterization and processing: o Characterization of EOM: A typology list of EOM will be generated based on EOM origin and processing. Available information about EOM characteristics will be synthetized including their physico-chemical state, indicators of efficiency, and content of contaminants. o Quantification of available EOM and biomass to be potentially processed to EOM: An estimation of available EOM and biomass for EOM production thoughout Europe will be carried out. Improving the processing of EOM to increase the potential for C sequestration in soil, and decrease nutrient losses and contaminant content. - The second part on the effects of EOM application on soils: o Long-term experiments where EOM are regularly applied will be listed (connexion with WP7 In EJP Soil) and data collected on the effect of repeated EOM application on soil characteristics, water quality, crop yield and quality, as well as gas emissions (GHG, ammonia, VOC). o A focus on contaminants will include a synthesis of regulations throughout Europe in relation with EOM and their application on soil, synthesis of available data on EOM (previous point) and in the long-term experiments. Another focus will be made on C storage and gas emission in the field after EOM application (N2O, NH3, VOC) with the objective to relate C storage and gas emission with the characteristics of EOM and soil, produce emission factors and simplified modelst to predict gas emission. A multicriteria assessment oft the application of EOM will be done based on the previous results. - The third part will concern the cropping systems where EOM are applied as fertilizers o A multicriteria simulation tool that simulates multiple effects of repeated application of EOM in farming systems will be parameterized based on optained experimental results considering the diversity of EOM characterized in the project and their effects measured in the long- and short-term experiments. o Representative farming systems throughout Europe will be defined and further studied
