Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on the three principles of minimum disturbance, surface crop residue retention and crop rotations, and is one of the available options. In Southern , CA has been intensively promoted for more than a decade to combat declining fertility and to stabilize crop yields.
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 We lack an understanding of nitrogen (N) cycles in tropical forests of , although the environmental conditions in this region, such as type, vegetation, and climate, are distinct when compared with other tropical forests. Herein, we simultaneously quantified N fluxes through precipitation, throughfall, and 0-, 15-, and 30-cm solutions, as well as litterfall, in two ...

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 ...

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).

, recent studies have modelled water, wind and tillage erosion at continental scale and shed new light on their geography. However, to acquire a comprehensive picture of erosion threats more processes need to be addressed and made visible to decision-makers.
With the Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey (LUCAS) survey in 2009 a pan- dataset is available for the first time, consisting of around 20,000 points across 25 Member States of the Union.
