For each function the maximum potential was estimated across the Union and changes in trade-offs were assessed. By deriving current and potential function delivery from Bayesian networks a better understanding is gained of how different functions and their interdependencies can differ depending on , climate and ...
The actual average net losses in the watershed varied from 2·57 t/ha/yr for conventional management systems to 0.01 t/ha/yr for grassland. This corresponds to a maximum average annual loss of about 0·2 mm, which is considered to be the average annual formation rate and therefore an acceptable loss.

The importance of soils in the Earth system must make us, the scientists, more noticeable at the EGU. The aim of the Division on System Sciences ( SSS) is to coordinate the EGU scientific programme on and related activities. The SSS contributes actively with EGU by promoting scientific interchange and dissemination of ...
is a vital component of natural capital, hosting rich biodiversity and providing critical ecosystem services, such as food production, water purification and carbon storage. However, soils are under increasing pressure and comprehensive monitoring to asses health is lacking. Published today, a Environment Agency (EEA) report presents a core set of indicators ...
KU Leuven and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the Commission are inviting applications for PhD positions through the Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) scheme. The CDP scheme intends to enhance the -policy link through strategic collaborations with higher education institutions characterized by research excellence and ...
Soils have achieved prominence in the political agenda of the Commission with the proposal for a Monitoring Law and the ambitious Mission research framework. The EU Observatory (EUSO) used the latest state-of-the-art pan- datasets to propose a preliminary assessment of health in the EU based on 18 ...
