Description: This dataset includes the past reconstruction of erosion rates (incuding UK, Switzerland and Western balkans). The data provided have are aggregated per decade starting from 1860. The erosion change is driven by changes in land use and rainfall erosivity. The simulations have been done using the CE-DYNAM model.
Abstract. In the 2022 summer, western–central and several other regions in the northern extratropics experienced substantial moisture deficits in the wake of precipitation shortages and elevated temperatures. Much of has not witnessed a more severe drought since at least the mid-20th century, raising the question whether this is a manifestation of our warming climate ...

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 ...

Introduction. Around 40% of the global land area is devoted to agriculture. In the Union (EU), too, this share amounts to 43% ().Scientists and policy makers emphasize that this vast area of land performs many functions in addition to primary productivity (Keestra et al., 2016) and that this multi-functionality is under pressure (Stolte et al., 2016; EU, 2019).
