Anna Edlinger

Anna Edlinger is a Researcher specializing in Sustainable Soil Use at Wageningen University & Research. Her work bridges soil science with agricultural policy and ecological management, focusing on practical applications for soil health preservation.

Her primary research interests include Soil Health, Soil Organic Carbon dynamics, and Agricultural Management practices. She investigates how cover cropping, compost application, and solar park integration affect soil structure, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. Her fingerprint analysis reveals strong expertise in Carbon Sink mechanisms (38%), Aggregate Stability (50%), and Soil Biodiversity (100%).

Recent publications demonstrate interdisciplinary trends combining soil science with legal frameworks (2025) and renewable energy infrastructure impacts (2025). Her work consistently addresses European-scale soil challenges, particularly biotic homogenization in arable systems (2024) and ecological production functions.

Edlinger actively supervises PhD research, currently co-promoting Scholten, L.'s work on solar parks' ecosystem services. She leads multiple funded projects including 'SL Brede bodemkwaliteit' (2025) and 'Bodembiologie in minerale landbouwbodems' (2024-2027), with total project involvement spanning 5 active initiatives. Her research combines field studies (56+ farmer-managed fields), molecular analysis, and policy development.

She contributes to European soil biodiversity mapping efforts and has presented at academic conferences including 'Modeling and mapping soil biodiversity patterns' (2023).
