5th EASP Meeting_Session 2_EUROSOLAN activities_by Hakki Emrah Erdogan

Transcript

1. Interactions with the ESP to establish an effective RESOLAN Hakkı Emrah Erdogan ESP- Pilar 5 Working Group Chair
2. The Pilar 5 main objective is to develop an over-arching mechanism for globally consistent and comparable harmonized monitoring for soil related policies.
3. Highlights ESP IPoA • Policy processes require indicators derived from national soil data (e.g. SDG). • Applying harmonized indicators, using agreed and harmonized evaluation methods are the fundamental basis. • This is also needed to build a European soil monitoring system based on national systems.
4. This mechanism includes the following working areas : • Soil profile observation and description, soil classification systems (WRB working group) • The automated WRB classification on going • The FAO Guidelines for Soil Description (4th edition) is in preparation. It will be ready next year. • Universal Soil Classification (?) • Standardization of soil mapping and property estimation (Pilar 4) • Soil Iinformation Exchange + Quality of Soil Data • Experinces ISO 28258:2013, INSPIRE • SoilML in progress (ISRIC) • Soil data interpretation: agreed and representative indicators set and evaluation functions to assess the impact and performance of the policies, projects and investments on soil. (?) • Laboratory and field analytical data of soil (RESOLAN)
6. Participant of GLODOLAN meeting in 2018 Members of the GLOSOLAN Technical Working Group
8. • Make soil information across labs, countries and regions comparable, interpretable; • Build a set of agreed harmonization principles; • Improve quality assurance and control (QA/QC) of soil analyses; • Promote information and experience exchange. Main objectives
9. RESOLAN is an efficient and effective way to: • Provide reliable evidence to support better decision-making at both field and policy levels; • Support countries in reporting on progress made towards the SDGs; • Contribute to the development of international standards and indicators; • Contribute to the assessment, monitoring and sustainable management of soil and provide quality data to support the establishment of National Soil Information Systems • Assist companies manufacturing laboratory equipment in improving their products; • Identify research gaps and increase investments in research.
10. Existing knowledge and experiences in Europe - EC LUCAS program - Soil Laboratory Standardization (ISO) - High Quality and Durable Soil Testing in relation with EU CAP - More intense research on Soil Analysis Methods and Equipment in Europe
11. RESOLAN An opportunity to exchange of knowledge and experiences between ESP and EASP member countries
12. Thank you for your attention !
