PhD on “Assessment of the ecological functions and soil health of residential green spaces”

Although soil health concept has gained significant prominence within environmental policy and scientific research, its definition remains contested. Furthermore, practical frameworks are predominantly applied to agricultural and forestry contexts. Yet urban soils are a vital resource in an increasingly urbanized world, and the environmental challenges they face are just as significant (e.g., air quality, urban climate, flood risk, food self-sufficiency, contamination).
