Multi-Functional Land Use Is Not Self-Evident for …

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).

The relationship between properties and nutrient deficiencies was explored. Nutrient limitations were found to differ between soils, both within and across countries. Generally, each was potentially deficient in at least one nutrient, with K, P, Mg, MN and S emerging as most limiting in 88, 65, 59, 18, and 12% of tested soils ...

erosion is unlikely to drive a future carbon sink

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 ...

The new assessment of loss by water erosion …

The differences in approach to assess loss by water erosion probably arise from the different circumstances pertaining at the time. Thus in the 1930s erosion was high on the agenda in the USA and was widespread (Bennet, 1939), and an understanding of processes driving erosion was needed. Plot experiments were set up at experimental ...
