In collaboration with Arantza Aldezabal of the University of the Basque Country, we are co-directing the final degree works of June and Olatz, on the influence of the management of valley bottom cattle farms on soil health. SMEG is particularly interested in testing new simple field measurements (e.g., bait-lamina test, Solvita, a self-designed soil respiration test, soil nutrient measurement kits, different organic matter estimates, macrofaunal taxonomic assignments). These measurements will be validated with standard laboratory tests. Let’s go for it!
