- The iSQAPER project aims to develop an app to help farmers choose effective Agricultural Management Practices (AMPs) for improving soil quality through a new soil quality index.
- The study maps the distribution of 18 identified promising AMPs across Europe and China, highlighting their usage and assessing the significance of various soil threats in those regions.
- Results indicate differing AMPs adopted in Europe and China, with major soil threats identified as soil erosion in Europe and a mix of issues like SOM decline and compaction in China, providing crucial data for policymakers working on soil quality improvement strategies.
