Dr Jaap Schröder has worked for over 30 years as a scientist on nutrient management (N and P cycling, losses, use efficiency) at the scales of fields (soil-crop), farms (soil-crop-livestock-manure), regions (farms-industries-societies) and continents. During the last ten years he is strongly involved in the underpinning and preparation of Action Programmes related to the EU [...]
Dr Isabelle Trinsoutrot Gattin obtained a PhD in microbial ecology from the University of Lyon 1 in 1999, after a research conducted within the INRA centre in Reims on the effect of physicochemical characteristics of crop residues on carbon and nitrogen fluxes during decomposition. Then, she carried out two postdoctoral research works on characterization of [...]

As Leader of the soil genesis, classification and mapping, Prof. Dr Zhang has worked as a soil pedologist for the last 20 years. He obtained his PhD of Soil Science from Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1993. He is responsible for a research team of 6 staff working on soil genesis, [...]
Naturalist with expertise in soil biological community, since I’ve been working on Soil Biology Quality Index (from Parisi, 2001), focusing on moss living microinvertebrates (Tardigrades, Rotifers and Nematodes) before graduating in 2002. I have been studying Nematodes, since 2003 within my Ph.D., from an ecological and taxonomical point of view, taking part to researches both [...]
