Experts survey on soil vulnerability to natural disturbances

I forward a request for expertise from Stefano Manzoni at Stockholm
university <stefano.manzoni@natgeo.su.se>:


Dear colleagues,

I would like to invite you to fill in one or more of the surveys linked
below. We have launched a set of three surveys for experts to explore
opinions on the vulnerability of forest soils to the increase in
frequency and severity of natural disturbances (e.g. fire, drought, tree
mortality events) as a result of anthropogenic climate change. This is
part of the EU project HoliSoils (https://holisoils.eu/
<https://holisoils.eu/>).

With this survey we want to:

1. fill current gaps in our understanding of potential threats to soil
functioning
2. contrast the different opinions and points of view about soil
vulnerability of experts from different disciplines
Tree mortality: focus on the impacts of increasing incidence of tree
mortality associated with droughts or pests

Drought: focus on the impacts of increasing intensity and frequency of
extreme drought events

Wildfires: focus on the impacts of increasing intensity and frequency of
wildfires

Pick the disturbance you are most familiar with (or all of them!)—it
should take about 20 minutes to complete one survey. Feel free to
circulate among your colleagues.

In case of any questions, please let us know via email to the survey
coordinator (Jorge Curiel jorge.curiel@bc3research.org

Thanks!
