WP2
(1) To analyze pre and post operational presence of herbicides, pesticides, fungicide and copper residues in olive groves soils differing in land management in order to determine soil pollution levels and risks for environment and humans.
(2) A life cycle assessment (LCA) will be carried out to assess the environmental situation of the decontamination treatment applied to Soil O-live. . .

WP3
(1) Design and develop a harmonized framework to assess and monitor the state of soil degradation due to erosion under cultivation of olive trees in line with the objectives of the European Soil Mission. This framework will span from remote mapping and modelling land use effects on soil health as well as calibration and validation with selected tracers of sediment transport and indicators of soil degradation

WP4
(1) we will analyze the microbial communities of the olive rhizosphere, olive roots and bulk soil in three types of olive groves with different management;
(2) to understand the impact of land management and pollution on the symbiotic interaction between mycorrhizae in olive trees and consequences for tree health and groundcovers

WP5
This WP will investigate the pre-operational and post-operational abundance and biodiversity (taxonomic, genetic and functional) of key soil organisms as:
(1) free-living and
(2) plant-parasitic nematodes

(1) free-living and
(2) plant-parasitic nematodes
WP6
(1) To estimate ecosystem fluxes (CO2 fixation and H2O evotranspiration) above and below tree canopy in olive groves with different management
(2) To survey the abundance and incidence of two olive tree pests, olive moth and olive fly in olive groves differing in management across the region
