The regional maps were developed based on the regional surveys and illustrate the bias existing in data for different regions. The map for the Rostov region was digitized by the Dokuchaev Institute based on the 1:300,000 map developed by Southern state design Institute for land management of the USSR in 1985.

Benchmarking Health across The recent proposal for a Monitoring and Resilience Directive by the Commission states that 60-70% of soils are currently considered unhealthy due to e.g. pollution, excess nutrients compaction and degradation. In light of this worrying figure, the SH&F mission has set the goal ...

Results indicate increase in their spatial extend (between 23% and 46%) and their duration (between 16% and 48%) depending on the period and the scenario. Additional analysis was performed for the exceptionally wide-area (over 10 6 km 2) severe and extreme moisture drought events that are expected to drastically increase comparing to the ...
Carbon in Sensitive Ecosystems: From to Land Management – A Summary Robert Jandl , Federal Research and Training Centre for Forests, Natural Hazards and Landscape (BFW), Austria
Total carbon pools for the entire land area of the world, excluding carbon held in the litter layer and charcoal, amounts to 2157–2293 Pg of C in the upper 100¿cm. organic carbon is estimated to be 684–724 Pg of C in the upper 30¿cm, 1462–1548 Pg of C in the upper 100¿cm, and 2376–2456 Pg of C in the upper 200¿cm.
The simulations for forest NO emissions are in agreement with field observations by Van Dijk and Duyzer (1999) for a N-affected forest stand in the Netherlands and with results from field measurements of NO fluxes at several sites across within the NOFRETETE project (Pilegaard et al., 2006).
The negative impacts of sealing are numerous, from withdrawing fertile from biomass production to modifying the microclimate and decreasing biodiversity. Many of the processes are interrelated and propagate further undesirable consequences from local to global levels. Three issues are especially important from the viewpoint of multiscale ecological cycles and consequent environmental ...

Agricultural production systems are currently severely threatening climate stability and ecosystem resilience and constitute a large driver of environmental degradation. For example, there are severe impacts through the loss of species biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination, increase in erosion, declines in fertility ...

In response to growing concerns over conservation issues , on 3–4 November 1988, 18 experts from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom met and founded the ‘ Society for Conservation’ (ESSC) in Leuven (Belgium) on 4 November 1988 (Fig. 1).
The most remarkable phase of erosion occurred in the first half of 14th century, at the beginning of the Little Ice Age. The second well-known intense erosion phase occurred in the mid-18th to early 19th century—at the end of the Little Ice Age. Historical records document extreme precipitation events during these two phases ...

There has been little research, however, on the effects of biochar on three-dimensional (3-D) structure and carbon distribution within aggregates. To investigate the effects we amended two types (Ultisol and Vertisol) with three types of biochar (at the rate of 40 g biochar kg −1 ). We separated the macroaggregates (5–7 cm in ...
