D2.1 List of methods to leverage citizen science methods for soils

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This deliverable selects the most suitable citizen science methods and provides recommendations to refine ECHO's methodologies based on the findings. It summarises the collaborative work of the ECHO Task 2.1 (“Selection of citizen science methods for monitoring soils”). This task examined each project previously identified in the initial matrix from Task 1.1 (“State of the art on Citizen Science initiatives for monitoring soil health”) and allowed the application of the assessment frameworks developed in Task 1.2 (“Assessment framework for citizen science methods”) and Task 1.3 (“Citizen-generated Soil Data Quality assessment framework”). This deliverable gathers the gaps identified in the assessed existing citizen science methods and citizen-generated soil data quality, and details the most suitable ones. Additionally, it discusses the citizen science approaches and toolkit, the citizen-generated soil data quality and the level of citizen participation in ECHO.
