Project

Multi-tracer methods to assess soil redistribution for soil conservation, sustainable production and environmental protection

The project aims to develop validated fallout radio nuclide (137Cs, 210Pbex, 7Be) sampling, measurement and interpretation protocols to measure spatial distribution of siol erosion and sedimentation, improve soil erosion modeling, and evaluate its impact on soil functioning at field and watershed scales. its experimental set-up comprises laboratiory and field experiments, soil erosion modeling and soil quality assessments.
