Introduction. erosion is ‘the wearing away of the land surface by physical forces such as rainfall, flowing water, wind, ice, temperature change, gravity or other natural or anthropogenic agents that abrade, detach and remove or geological material from one point on the earth's surface to be deposited elsewhere’ ( Society of America, Citation 2001; Jones et al ...
It has proved a powerful tool in conveying best practice to lay audiences, and is increasingly found in international fora, strategic programmes (e.g. Health and Food Mission, the Health Institute, the Biology and Health Partnership, UK 25 Year Environment Plan), agreements and long term plans (Jian et al., 2020).

Abstract. erosion by water is one of the major threats to soils in the Union, with a negative impact on ecosystem services, crop production, drinking water and carbon stocks. The Commission's Thematic Strategy has identified erosion as a relevant issue for the Union, and has proposed an approach to ...
An average rate of loss for by sheet and rill erosion, based on modelling, of 2.46 t/ha/year has been proposed (Panagos, Borrelli, et al., 2016; Panagos, Imeson, et al., 2016). These rates are not a threat to our ability to continue to produce crops for hundreds of years except in areas of extremely thin soils.

We found much variation between countries for each of the three steps: There are more than 10 -P tests currently in use, apparent contradictions in the interpretation of -P test values and more than 3-fold differences in the P fertilizer recommendations for similar -crop situations.

Here we conducted a global analysis of the bacterial communities found in surface soils from 237 locations across six continents and 18 countries (fig. S1) to (i) identify the most dominant (i.e., most abundant and ubiquitous) bacterial phylotypes worldwide; (ii) determine which of these dominant phylotypes tend to co-occur and share similar environmental preferences; (iii) map the ...
They argued that low moisture dries air masses in Southern , which, as they move northward, decrease cloudiness and enhance the atmospheric evaporative demand. Our hydrologic simulation is in agreement with their hypothesis, showing that, during the compound warm-season events of CEU, January to April moisture deficits in MED ...

Abstract moisture–atmosphere interactions are key elements of the regional climate system. There is a well-founded hope that a more accurate representation of the moisture–precipitation feedback would improve the simulation of summer precipitation on daily to seasonal, to climate time scales. However, uncertainties have persistently remained as the simulated feedback is strongly ...

Even so, it is widely understood that the main -quality issues include erosion, loss of organic mat-ter, nutrient deficits and imbalances, loss of biodiver-sity, salinization, acidification, and sealing.

The model, launched in the 1980s, was originally called Century because it simulated carbon dynamics on timescales of a century or longer.As concerns about climate change grew, the CSU team looked to expand the model to capture how the three major greenhouse gases—CO 2, methane, and N 2 O—pass between air and land during a growing season.
Intensification of smallholder agriculture in sub-Saharan is necessary to address rural poverty and natural resource degradation. Integrated Fertility Management (ISFM) is a means to enhance crop productivity while maximizing the agronomic efficiency (AE) of applied inputs, and can thus contribute to sustainable intensification.
