The next EUROSOIL Meeting will be celebrated in the beautiful city of Seville (Spain) on 8-12 September 2025. The week before the EUROSOIL 2025, we will also organize for the first time a Judging Contest in the dream city of Granada. Therefore this, together with Seville, will be a great opportunity to visit the mythical Andalusia ...
A quantitative map of estimated pH values across from a compilation of 12,333 pH measurements from 11 different sources, and using a geo-statistical framework based on Regression-Kriging. Fifty-four (54) auxiliary variables in the form of raster maps at 5km resolution were used to explain the differences in the distribution of ...

interacts with terrestrial carbon storage in land systems. By summarizing the very different estimates of carbon storage regarding the different farm, , and climate conditions of ’s agriculture, Nowicki states that the carbon storage capacity of grasslands supersedes the carbon storage capacity of arable soils [12].
Existing data sets on earthworm communities were collected, harmonized, collated, modelled and depicted on a biodiversity map. Digital Mapping was applied using multiple regressions relating relatively low density earthworm community data to characteristics, land use, vegetation and climate factors (covariables) with a greater spatial resolution.
The Database (Heineke et al., 1998) provides a harmonised and spatial coverage of types and descriptions, based on FAO nomenclature, at a resolution of 1:1 m scale (ca. 1 km ×1 km) in all participating countries. The basic spatial units are the mapping units (SMU)—polygons representing areas of the same ...

, the areas under CA have stagnated since the 1980s at around 1 to a few percent depending on the country. Long held back by the myth of the need to work the and by the competition of the development of simplified cultural techniques (SCT), CA has for the past ten years or so, generated a great deal of interest among farmers .
