Best soil management practices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Identified are role model soil management practices, demonstrating the potential for sustainable development, environmental protection, and positive social influence. Best practice influence depends on regional circumstances, such as natural environment, political situation, funding schemes, or public opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable management and the protection of Alpine soil enhance the quality of the Alpine environment and considerably contribute to the provision of soil ecosystem services (SES) and the resilience of ecosystems. This, in turn, helps to preserve biodiversity and ensure the well-being of humans.<\/mark> The Soil Conservation Protocol of the Alpine Convention, an international treaty, aims to “safeguard the multifunctional role of soil based on the concept of sustainable development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best practices<\/a><\/strong> of soil management in the Alpine region are grouped into sectors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
