From 8 to 12 September, 2025, the VII EUROSOIL Conference (VII EUROSOIL 2025 & X Congreso Ibérico de la Ciencia del Suelo) took place in Seville, Spain. This event is organized every 4 years by the European Confederation of Soil Science Societies and covers a wide spectrum of soil-related issues from the areas of science, industry and society. Over 1,000 participants from around the world attended the conference. Research results were presented in the form of oral presentations and posters within several general topics, including soil biogeochemistry and global change, soil biology and microbiology, soil hydrology and erosion, soil-plant-water interactions, soil carbon stabilization and dynamics, soil degradation, desertification, and pollution.
The ToBeLawn team, represented by Prof. Anna Stefanowicz and Dr. Paweł Kapusta, showed preliminary research results from the project were in the form of posters under the theme “Land Fragmentation, Urban and Anthropogenic Soils.” The results concerned the influence of the frequency of mowing roadside lawns, road pollution and season on the physicochemical properties of the soil and parameters describing the condition and functioning of soil microorganism communities.
We encourage you to download the posters as PDF files:
- Mowing frequency and traffic pollution affect soil microbial communities of urban roadside lawns
- The effects of mowing frequency, proximity to the road, and season on the physicochemical properties of urban roadside lawn soils
