Multiple forest restoration strategies were studied within the framework of SUPERB, of which some barely impact soil health and others are explicitly targeted on soil health.
The list of adopted restoration strategies within SUPERB is further specified and subsequently divided into three categories in the guidelines (Table 2): (i) afforestation/reforestation techniques, (ii) forest regeneration techniques and (iii) nursing techniques. Forest restoration measures that directly impact the soil are indicated by an * in Table 2. This distinction is crucial as it recognizes that soil is both an integral and essential part of the forest ecosystem and a critical component that requires specific attention and management.
List of restoration techniques in the guidelines divided into three categories: (i) afforestation/reforestation techniques, (ii) forest regeneration techniques and (iii) nursing techniques.
Here (link to tool on the gatewawy) and in report D6.4 Soil Restoration and Monitoring Guidelines, chapter 2.3.1, you can find these same restoration techniques and their impacts on soil properties. Additionally in this report, we also illustrate the use of this table using two demo cases from SUPERB.
