Multi-Functional Land Use Is Not Self-Evident for …

Introduction. Around 40% of the global land area is devoted to agriculture. In the Union (EU), too, this share amounts to 43% ().Scientists and policy makers emphasize that this vast area of land performs many functions in addition to primary productivity (Keestra et al., 2016) and that this multi-functionality is under pressure (Stolte et al., 2016; EU, 2019).

erosion is unlikely to drive a future carbon sink

The latest projections of organic carbon (SOC) changes from dif-ferent Earth system models (ESMs) show a very wide range of values, adding uncertainty on land-atmospheric carbon(C) feedback under cli-mate change (1). Because the is the largest terrestrial C pool, differ-ent representations of SOC turnover may amplify the magnitude and ...

Pesticide residues soils – A hidden …

In this study, the distribution of 76 pesticide residues was evaluated in 317 topsoil samples from across the Union. The soils were collected in 2015 and originated from 11 EU Member States and 6 main cropping systems. Over 80% of the tested soils contained pesticide residues (25% of samples had 1 residue, 58% of samples ...

The new assessment of loss by water erosion …

The differences in approach to assess loss by water erosion probably arise from the different circumstances pertaining at the time. Thus in the 1930s erosion was high on the agenda in the USA and was widespread (Bennet, 1939), and an understanding of processes driving erosion was needed. Plot experiments were set up at experimental ...

Using the dataset resurveys, we spatially assessed changes in land cover in 1990–2018 and used these to estimate changes in naturalness. On average, 50.74% of the examined surface was classified as natural or near-natural, 41.66% of the surface was moderately, but recognizably transformed by human activities, while 4.43% of the ...

We studied their influences in silty soils using samples from two field experiments with contrasting long-term use (cropped versus bare fallow). The cropped had a larger organic C content than the bare fallow, and allowed us to compare a with pools of organic C differing in turnover time with a dominated by the passive organic C ...
