SOILS4MED is a research project coordinated by SMSL, developing integrated soil health monitoring and information systems tailored to the Mediterranean region. It connects scientific knowledge, field data and stakeholder engagement to support sustainable land management and policy-making across a network of 16 research institutions in 10 countries.
Living Labs
Collaborative environments where scientists, stakeholders and land managers co-design, test and validate soil health solutions in real territorial contexts.
Soil Monitoring
Harmonized indicators, field protocols and open-access datasets to assess soil ecosystem health across the diverse environments of the Mediterranean region.
Soil Information Systems (SIS)
Standardized, country-owned digital infrastructures that make soil data accessible, manageable and actionable for decision-makers and land managers.

Sustainable Management of Soil and Landscape
SMSL — Sustainable Management of Soil and Landscape — is an interdisciplinary research unit at the University of Sassari dedicated to advancing integrated science for soil health, landscape analysis, and sustainable land management.
