This report aims to provide an overview in terms of prioritisation of soil functions, existing knowledge and knowledge requirements harvested from 473 participants. Part A of the report consists of a presentation of the common workshops’ methodology and implementation, harmonized collated results and a synthesis of the main outcomes of the consultations. While PART B consists of the two guides used to run the workshops and a collection of the individual reports of the 32 workshops carried out. Together with the Glossary (D1.1) and the Pillar review papers (D1.3), this report is designed to guide the next steps of the LANDMARK project and it has been incorporated into the Strategic Research Agenda (D1.4).
