IDESoWa Increased drainage effects on soil properties and water quality

Coordinator: LATVIJAS BIOZINATNU UN TEHNOLOGIJU UNIVERSITATE (LV)

Soil stores the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon (C), and can act as a source and/or filter for water pollutants like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and suspended solids (SS). Fine soil particles (clays, Fe, Al and Mn (hydr)oxides, carbonates) play a crucial role in the stability of carbon and nutrients in soil. Previous studies have found that even a few decades of increased drainage, due to subsurface drainage installation, can substantially change the proportion and composition of fine soil particles closest to the drain. This raises questions regarding increased precipitation, an…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

The project runs over approximately 4.8 years from 2019-07-15 to 2024-05-02.
