Proceedings of the technical workshop on indicators for soil sealing

In 2001, the EEA carried out a peer review of its work on soil, with particular reference to the development of policy-relevant indicators and the identification of probable problem areas for soil degradation (the so-called 'hot spots'). The review was, in particular, focused on work on indicators for soil erosion and soil sealing and two associated technical workshops were held in March 2001 to facilitate this review. This report summarises the conclusions of the workshop on indicators for soil sealing, held in Copenhagen on 26 to 27 March 2001, and the results of the EIONET review of the EEA 'hot spot' work, undertaken in the first half of 2001 (see ).
