— Ever-sprawling urban concrete?

According to these Corine (Coordination of information on the environment) monitoring results, ’s land cover has remained relatively stable since 2000, with about 25 % covered by arable land and permanent crops, 17 % by pastures and 34 % by forests. However, on closer inspection of recent land cover changes, two noteworthy trends emerge.

total carbon, total nitrogen and organic matter were mainly affected by AD, whereas FWL had a major influence on pH, ammonium and nitrate. Along the elevation gradient (150–175 m), the properties were determined mainly by the sampling elevation, accounting for 67.6% of the variation, followed by short-term (5.6%) and long-term ...

Impact of

We identify a negative relationship between SM and TXx, whereby a 100 mm decrease in model-based SM is associated with a 1.6 °C increase in TXx in Southern-Central and Southeastern . Dry SM conditions result in a 2–4 °C increase in the 20-year return value of TXx compared to wet conditions in these two regions.
