Bodemkwaliteitsindicatoren voor stadslandbouw en stedelijk groen : wetenschappelijke basis en praktijktoepassing

Relevant soil quality indicators for agricultural applications have been available for some time, but not yet for specific applications within the urban environment. In this report, relevant indicators are selected for assessing soil quality within the Amsterdam metropolitan region for the application ‘urban agriculture’ and ‘urban green’ . Within each of these applications, a further sub- selection of relevant indicators is made. On the basis of a case study in the ‘Fruittuinen van West’ -area in Amsterdam, an example for the use of soil quality indicators is being developed for the application ‘urban agriculture'.
