The Institute for Soil Sciences participated as a consortium partner in the recently absolved National Ecosystem Services Mapping and Assessment in the framework of the Strategic Assessments supporting the long term conservation of natural values of community interest as well as the national implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 (KEHOP-4.3.0-VEKOP-15-2016-00001) project.
The results of the project are gradually being published in various international journals.
