Bodemgezondheid in Europese bossen onder herstel

Forests and forest soils provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including regulating, provisioning and cultural services. Among the regulating services, European forests act as a net carbon sink, sequestering CO₂ in living and dead biomass and in soils. Delivery of these services depends on healthy forests and soils, which are increasingly threatened by degradation, potentially even turning forests from carbon sinks into carbon sources. Declining soil health both reflects and amplifies fore
