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.
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 mean loss rate in the Union’s erosion-prone lands (agricultural, forests and semi-natural areas) was found to be 2.46 t ha-1 yr-1, resulting in a total loss of 970 Mt ...

With a surge in both hazardous and non-hazardous waste in recent decades, Union countries are losing their quality which in turn affects the agricultural production of their economies. Taking this into account, this study presents the effect of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, plastic waste, and electronic waste on health for 24 Union (EU) countries during 2004 ...
SOM stabilization is suggested to be dominantly influenced by the following chemical and physical characteristics: (i) direct stabilization of SOM in organo-metallic (Al-humus) complexes, explaining at most 40% of carbon accumulation, (ii) indirect protection of SOM (notably aliphatic compounds) through low pH and toxic levels of Al ...
Dataset. The analysis of research is particularly relevant given the increased political attention on soils at EU and global levels. This dataset includes a collection of EU Research projects in soils (n = 1101 projects) funded by the successive Commission Framework Programs (FP) for research and innovation (from FP1 to H2020).

from various land-use types under temperate climate conditions suggest that the amount of brought to the surface by earthworms annually as castings is about 40 t ha −1 year −1 (based on 19 studies), contributing about 0.4 cm (based on 13 studies) of topsoil per year. Under a temperate climate, earthworms can thus potentially ...

PhD in Real-time monitoring of surface and water quality Real-time monitoring of surface and water quality The quality of surface water has become a pressing environmental concern, with significant implications for public health, biodiversity, and sustainability.
A multidisciplinary group of experts has examined the implications of recent scientific research for integrated policy solutions towards ensuring the sustainability of ’s soils, and identified many opportunities for policy-makers to safeguard this valuable resource for the benefit of the EU’s citizens.
biodiversity is the life that exists within the , from bacteria to earthworms. These living organisms keep healthy and fertile. biodiversity is key to meeting Green Deal objectives such as climate neutrality, biodiversity restoration, zero pollution, healthy and sustainable food systems, and a resilient environment.
The JRC supports the Thematic Strategy for Protection, addressing areas such as erosion, contamination, compaction, landslides and loss of biodiversity and organic matter. provides the main foundation for human activity and housing.

In this work, over 60 citizen projects that considered health were reviewed. Citizen projects were collected based on literature search, expert interviews, project partner contributions and through the mailing lists of the Network for Awareness (ENSA) and the Data Center (ESDAC).
The cumulative impact of climate change (based on the three RCP scenarios) and land use change is a projected increase in erosion rates of 13–22.5 % in agricultural lands of the EU plus UK by 2050. This sizable gap can be eliminated (or at least reduced) with management practices for reduced losses.
