EARTHONE teams from Bremen and Twente met on 20–21 Nov to align work on climate modelling and phenology. The workshop set next steps for WP5, including work on the ICON land component and possible integration of UT phenology outputs. Full story: earthone-project.eu/earthone-res...

#EARTHONE gathered input from its workshops to understand what farmers, foresters and authorities need from digital tools for climate-resilient land use. Their feedback now shapes the MSE, Scenario Builder and Information Factory. Full blog: earthone-project.eu/what-earthon...

EARTHONE research at the Italian pilot site shows how soybeans respond to a mature poplar agroforestry system. Soil sampling, microclimate data and field measurements reveal strong competition near the trees, with the Hiroko variety coping better than M10. 👉 earthone-project.eu/research-pro...

The #EARTHONE pilot in Slovenia studies the shift from grassland to forest, measuring soil organic matter, microbial activity and CO₂/CH₄/N₂O emissions. It builds on 15 years of monitoring to understand how #afforestation shapes soil health and carbon storage. 👉 earthone-project.eu

EARTHONE teams from UTH and ElGO DIMITRA carried out fieldwork on 13 November at two apple farms in Zagora. They seeded Lupinus and Hordeum, tested surface water collection for erosion studies, measured weed biomass and collected fallen leaves for analysis. 👉Our pilots: earthone-project.eu/pilots/

In October, #EARTHONE took part in the @re4green.bsky.social Social Lab Workshop at the @unibonn.bsky.social. The event explored urban and precision farming, vertical farming and the bioeconomy. It was an enriching experience that encouraged new perspectives and ideas. 👉 earthone-project.eu

Plants tell an important part of the climate story. #EARTHONE’s vegetation sensors capture continuous images of plant growth and seasonal change, helping improve land and crop management through real-time data. 👉 earthone-project.eu

The EU has adopted the new Soil Monitoring Law, aiming for healthy soils across Europe by 2050. It strengthens monitoring, supports farmers, and boosts soil resilience without adding new obligations. At EARTHONE, we welcome this milestone, as it directly aligns with our mission 👉 earthone-project.eu

The #EARTHONE Pilot 4 in Croatia studies wet grasslands near the Sava River to understand how extensive pasture use affects soil, water and biodiversity. It also explores carbon storage and invasive species in a changing climate. 👉 earthone-project.eu/pilots/ #Wetlands #Biodiversity

We’re delighted to see our synergy with @re4green.bsky.social take shape! Both projects foster sustainability through responsible research and innovation, linking ethical frameworks with practical environmental solutions to strengthen Europe’s green transition — here’s to collective impact! 💪

The #EARTHONE pilot in Greece moves ahead. After a joint meeting between teams from the University of Thessaly and the Hellenic Agricultural Organisation ELGO DIMITRA, researchers will visit the pilot site on 6 Nov to sow legumes, measure distances, and collect soil samples.

Creating resilient landscapes for a changing planet 🌍 #EARTHONE studies how environmental, social and economic factors influence greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions — and how better land management can help communities adapt to climate change. 👉 earthone-project.eu

Climate affects soil, water and vegetation. EARTHONE’s climate sensors measure temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall and solar radiation to monitor local conditions and their impact on emissions and natural sinks. 👉 earthone-project.eu #EARTHONE #ClimateAction #HorizonEurope

At the start of #EARTHONE, we spoke with our Work Package leaders about the project’s ambitions and challenges. If you missed these short conversations on how EARTHONE is taking shape, here’s your chance to get to know us better 👉 earthone-project.eu/speaking-wit... #HorizonEurope

#EARTHONE studies how Europe’s vegetation adapts to climate change using long-term climate records and high-resolution phenological data. Led by researchers from Faculty ITC @utwente.bsky.social, this work supports better biodiversity protection and sustainable land management 👉 earthone-project.eu

🌳 The #EARTHONE Pilot 3 in Italy explores how agroforestry enhances soil health, boosts carbon storage, and supports climate resilience. Poplar trees are intercropped with cereals, soybeans and maize to study soil quality, microbial activity, and emission reduction. 👉 earthone-project.eu

Healthy #soil supports both crops and the climate. EARTHONE’s soil sensors measure CO₂ fluxes, moisture, conductivity and temperature to assess soil health and carbon storage in real time. 👉 Learn more about our approach: earthone-project.eu #soilhealth #EARTHONE

To track land use and greenhouse gas emissions, #EARTHONE combines soil, vegetation and climate sensors into a continuous monitoring network. With IoT support, we gather real-time data to understand changes and protect natural sinks. 👉 earthone-project.eu

Agriculture is one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. At #EARTHONE, we study how social, economic and environmental factors drive these emissions and how natural sinks can be strengthened. 👉 Find out more here: earthone-project.eu/earthone-hel...

In Spain, #EARTHONE explores how farmland can evolve into resilient dehesas. By combining natural regeneration, livestock and careful monitoring, the pilot studies soil health, carbon storage, biodiversity and emissions. 👉 More info: earthone-project.eu/pilots #Agroforestry
