Understanding ancient civilizations is the realm of archaeology, and can be an important tool used by archaeologists to supply information on a wide range of subjects (Holliday, 2004; Homburg, 2005). Soils are an integral component of cultural landscapes and can provide significant information to archeological studies.
Current legal framework for protection. The Union (EU) is a unique economic and political union between 27 countries. The Member States of the Union have agreed, as a result of their membership of the EU, to transfer some of their powers to the EU institutions in specified policy areas.
organic matter plays a fundamental role in providing ecosystem services such as biomass production and flood and erosion mitigation (Comerford et al., 2013; Johannes et al., 2017). Moreover, organic carbon (SOC), the main component of organic matter, is one of the main global carbon pools (Lal, 2004a).
greatest loss of compared to other erosion processes (e.g. wind erosion). Recent policy developments in the Commission (the Thematic Strategy, the Common Agricultural Policy, 2020, and the 7th Environmental Action Programme) call for quantitative assessments of loss rates at the level.
and the uplands at higher latitudes. There is limited evidence that CO2 efflux from grass-lands may be about 20% higher than that from comparable forest stands (Raich and Tufekcioglu 2000). Unfortunately, however, most annual esti-mates of CO2 efflux from temperate grasslands date back to the 1970s (compare reviews by Raich
All of these were originally published in the Journal of (EJSS) between 2016 and 2021*. As a reflection of the diversity of ECRs within , the topics that comprise our selection stem from a vast spectrum of sub-disciplines, from machine learning through to archaeology via mechanistic interface interactions.
We analysed microbial biodiversity metrics and distribution of potential functional groups along a gradient of increasing land-use perturbation, detecting over 79,000 bacterial and 25,000 fungal OTUs in 715 sites across 24 countries. We found the lowest bacterial and fungal diversity in less-disturbed environments (woodlands) compared ...
Abstract. Water resources and associated ecosystems are becoming highly endangered due to ongoing global environmental changes. Spatial ecological modelling is a promising toolbox for understanding the past, present and future distribution and diversity patterns groundwater-dependent ecosystems, such as fens, springs, streams, reed beds or wet grasslands. Still, the lack of detailed water ...
The latest published LUCAS survey dates from 2018. It provides observations at more than 330.000 points surveyed in the EU Member States that are the basis for statistical report. data are collected and analysed through the LUCAS Module for a range of chemical, physical and biological parameters.

The core of this report was prepared for the Assessment on , which forms part of the 'The Environment - state and outlook 2010 Report' (SOER) 20102, coordinated by the Environment Agency (EEA). This Reference Report uses data from the Data Centre (ESDAC), managed on behalf of EU institutions by the JRC.

To increase the visibility of the profession in the general scientific arena, a procedure has been proposed to link the seven functions (SFs) (Table 2) proposed by the Commission (EC), 2006, Commission (EC), 2012 directly to well known general Ecosystem Services (ESs) (e.g. De Groot et al., 2002, Dominati et ...
The methodology included the biogeographic stratification of carbon measurements throughout using climatic zones derived from the Regions Map of . The presented stock estimates range from 1.3 to 70.8 t C/ha for the O-layer, and from 11.3 to 126.3 t C/ha for the mineral 0–20 cm (Germany: 0–30 cm) (5 and 95 ...
moisture data were retrieved from the Space Agency’s ERA5-Land dataset, which presents monthly averaged volumetric (m 3 m-3) water content at 0–7 cm, 7–28 cm, 28–100 cm and 100–289 cm intervals, using a 0.1° × 0.1° grid (Sabater, 2019).
This paper reviews and summarises the scientific literature and relevant official reports, with the aim to advance this knowledge by synthesizing, mapping, and identifying gaps regarding the status, causes, and consequences of degradation processes in the Mediterranean region. This is needed as scientific underpinning of efforts ...
In order to provide guidance to the development of the Roadmap for the Joint Programme a synthesis identifying knowledge about the and their biophysical and socio-economic impacts has been carried out.
Our MSc is an interdisciplinary programme, providing you with the essential knowledge and advanced skills to make informed decisions on sustainable land practice. The programme encompasses the fundamentals of and 's role in wider environmental systems and sustainable land management.
Background Lupin is a promising legume crop, belongs to the Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) family. Lupin production for traditional and functional foods or animal feed is limited, due to the content of toxic quinolizidine (QA)s and indole alkaloids (IA)s. These compounds may not only pose a risk to humans and animals through food consumption, but may also affect and aquatic ecosystems. Field ...
1. Assessment of erosion by water at scale: necessity and usefulness. The request of developing a pan- assessment for loss by water erosion comes from policy makers who aim to have dynamic tools to monitor the impact of various policies such as the Thematic Strategy, Common Agricultural Policy, and Climate Action on Land use and to develop indicators on the ...
In this study, a geo-statistical model is used to estimate the current and the future (SOC) stocks . A geo-statistical approach is proposed to achieve spatiotemporal prediction of stocks . The model consists of two sub-models (Figure 1). The base model predicts current organic ...
organisms often increase production of antibiotic-like compounds during times of stress (Swiecilo & Zych-Wezyk, 2013) and perhaps because of the increased stresses on worldwide new antibiotics are being discovered, although at a slower rate than the emergence of antibiotic resistance in the same stressed (Martinez, 2008). Many of ...
