The general concept of sustainable development has been specified in terms of goals, targets, and indicators by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015, followed by the Green Deal of the Union in 2019. The focus on targets and indicators does, however, not address the issue as to how these goals can be achieved for land-related SDGs in the real world, and attention in ...
salinization. The incremental loss and deterioration of 's resource is expected to continue, and will probably increase as a result of climate and land-use changes. From the Environmental Agency it was estimated that 220 million ha of (11% of the degraded soils worldwide) are degraded due to one or several of
Anthropogenic warming is anticipated to increase moisture drought in the future. However, projections are accompanied by large uncertainty due to varying estimates of future warming. Here, using an ensemble of hydrological and land-surface models, forced with bias-corrected downscaled general circulation model output, we estimate the ...

Abstract. respiration constitutes the second largest flux of carbon (C) between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. This study provides a synthesis of respiration ( R s) in 20 grasslands across a climatic transect, including ten meadows, eight pastures and two unmanaged grasslands.
The faster decline of non-agricultural sources compared to agricultural sources has led to a consistent increase in the contribution of agricultural NO x emissions from 3.2% in 1990 to 5.9% in 2017 in Eastern , and from 3.8% in 1990 to 7.4% in 2017 in Western (figure 2 ). Figure 2.

Also there are positive signals; in the recently proposed Green Deal, soils are identified as key element for achieving the ambitious target of a climate neutral Union by 2050, while sustaining the role of soils as a large biodiversity pool .
In total there are 6 categories: 0 - no . This represents water bodies, glaciers and rock outcrops. 1 - low susceptibility to compaction. 2. - medium susceptibility to compaction. 3. - high susceptibility to compaction. 4. - very high susceptibility to compaction. 9. - no evaluation possible.
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.

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 ...
