Biologists and data experts from 30 European countries
gathered at Senckenberg Research in Frankfurt to translate data into knowledge
to protect soil function and biodiversity. The meeting was organised by COST
Action EUdaphobase. Seven groups are working on a wide range of themes such as
data harmonization and collection, identifying ecological traits from soil
organisms, creating user-friendly interfaces for the edaphobase data warehouse,
improving data modelling and assessment and for the first time combining
microbiological and micro/meso-fauna data. The Irish representative from UL, Dr
Achim Schmalenberger is involved in the working group that deals with the
challenge to import environmental and sequencing data from microbiological
analyses from across Europe into edaphobase.
