During this Virtual Mobility, a standardized metadata collection framework for salt-affected soils within the SUSTAIN network. The work included designing a comprehensive questionnaire in KoboToolbox (Soil Salinity Survey and Data Collection), initiating outreach and data collection from partners, and compiling the first datasets for integration into an open-access platform. These outcomes provide the foundation for building a scalable, high-quality metadata database to support research on soil salinity across Europe and beyond.

Salinisation, the accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil, is one of the major causes of soil degradation affecting 833 million hectares of land and 1.5 billion inhabitants worldwide. However, these lands can be used by applying saline agriculture, involving soil, water and salt-tolerant crop management methods.
