Study identifies knowledge gaps in soil research and becomes one of Wiley's most cited articles.

The study, conducted under the European Joint Programme on agricultural soils, highlights critical knowledge gaps in sustainable soil management across Europe.

Key Findings:

• Soil carbon stocks: Limited understanding of organic carbon dynamics in soil.
• Soil degradation and fertility: Insufficient knowledge on maintaining soil health.
• Strategies for improved soil management: Need for better models and knowledge transfer.

One of the biggest challenges identified is the ineffective transfer of research findings to practitioners. To bridge this gap, stakeholders propose measures such as raising awareness, strengthening knowledge networks, improving access to information, and providing incentives for sustainable practices.

This recognition underscores the importance of soil research in addressing climate change and ensuring sustainable land use. We extend our gratitude to all researchers and practitioners who have engaged with our work, helping to advance sustainable soil management!
