319 Digital Soil Assessment for Ecosystem Modeling: I

Digital Soil Assessment (DSA) comprises: (i) soil attribute space inference, (ii) evaluation of soil functions and the threats to soils, and (iii) risk assessment and the development of strategies for soil protection. Digital Soil Risk Assessment (DSRA) consists of integrating political, social, economical parameters and general environmental threats to DSA outputs for building, modeling and testing scenarios about environmental perspectives. This session will allow sharing of experiences on environmental-centered digital soil mapping, DSA and DSRA.
