Scientific Basis for the Management of European Soil  Resources - Research Agenda   
   
     
During the European workshop “Towards a Harmonized Management of     
European Soil Resources Research Agenda for Soil Protection”     
in Vienna (28th–29th  October 2004) a group of scientists,     
under the guidance of the European Commission, DG Research,     
decided to analyse and evaluate the actual knowledge basis     
with regard to soil in order to determine future research needs,     
aimed at soil protection and the sustainable management of Europe's     
natural soil resources.     
    
The present booklet will outline the procedural advances and list     
the research targets that will help to define research needs     
on the national and European level based on importance, urgency and     
cost-effectiveness.    
    
This document is dedicated to the memory of  Prof. Dr. Michel Robert      
who passed away on 28 October 2004.
