erodibility : a high-resolution dataset based …

With the Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey (LUCAS) survey in 2009 a pan- dataset is available for the first time, consisting of around 20,000 points across 25 Member States of the Union. The aim of this study is the generation of a harmonised high-resolution erodibility map (with a grid cell size of 500 m) for the ...

The relationship between properties and nutrient deficiencies was explored. Nutrient limitations were found to differ between soils, both within and across countries. Generally, each was potentially deficient in at least one nutrient, with K, P, Mg, MN and S emerging as most limiting in 88, 65, 59, 18, and 12% of tested soils ...

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 ...
