To increase the visibility of the profession in the general scientific arena, a procedure has been proposed to link the seven functions (SFs) (Table 2) proposed by the Commission (EC), 2006, Commission (EC), 2012 directly to well known general Ecosystem Services (ESs) (e.g. De Groot et al., 2002, Dominati et ...
The methodology included the biogeographic stratification of carbon measurements throughout using climatic zones derived from the Regions Map of . The presented stock estimates range from 1.3 to 70.8 t C/ha for the O-layer, and from 11.3 to 126.3 t C/ha for the mineral 0–20 cm (Germany: 0–30 cm) (5 and 95 ...
moisture data were retrieved from the Space Agency’s ERA5-Land dataset, which presents monthly averaged volumetric (m 3 m-3) water content at 0–7 cm, 7–28 cm, 28–100 cm and 100–289 cm intervals, using a 0.1° × 0.1° grid (Sabater, 2019).
This paper reviews and summarises the scientific literature and relevant official reports, with the aim to advance this knowledge by synthesizing, mapping, and identifying gaps regarding the status, causes, and consequences of degradation processes in the Mediterranean region. This is needed as scientific underpinning of efforts ...

Background Lupin is a promising legume crop, belongs to the Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) family. Lupin production for traditional and functional foods or animal feed is limited, due to the content of toxic quinolizidine (QA)s and indole alkaloids (IA)s. These compounds may not only pose a risk to humans and animals through food consumption, but may also affect and aquatic ecosystems. Field ...
1. Assessment of erosion by water at scale: necessity and usefulness. The request of developing a pan- assessment for loss by water erosion comes from policy makers who aim to have dynamic tools to monitor the impact of various policies such as the Thematic Strategy, Common Agricultural Policy, and Climate Action on Land use and to develop indicators on the ...
