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

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 ...

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 ...

erosion is a serious problem affecting nearly all of : approximately 12 million hectares of severely eroded croplands in the EU contribute to an annual loss in agricultural productivity ...

The estimation of carbon content is of pressing concern for protection and in mitigation strategies for global warming. This paper describes the methodology developed and the results obtained in a study aimed at estimating organic carbon contents (%) in topsoils across .

In densely populated western fertility research started because there was little spare land, whereas in the Russian Empire and the United States land was amply available and survey developed. Since the second World War, has greatly benefited from new instrumentation and developments in other sciences.

where SOC is the organic carbon content of the spatially explicit topsoil layer (Mg ha −1 in the 0–30 cm) computed for (1 km grid cell resolution) (Lugato et al., 2016), SL is the net loss estimated by WaTEM/SEDEM (Mg ha −1 yr −1), BD is the bulk density (Mg m 3) derived from the topsoil physical properties map at ...

Permanent grasslands across are very diverse in appearance (Fig. 1).This is partly driven by inherent factors such as climate and , but also by varying intensities of grassland management, resulting in continuous gradients of fertilisation and defoliation (mowing or grazing) intensities (Blüthgen et al., 2012).

The EU Mission ‘A Deal for ’ is leading the transition towards healthy soils by 2030. Research is key to achieving eight ambitious objectives that include reducing desertification, conserving organic carbon stocks and improving structure to enhance biodiversity. In this context, the EU-funded SOLO project will ...

The extent and causes of chemical, physical and biological degradation of , and of loss, vary greatly in different countries in Western . The objective of this review paper is to examine these issues and also strategies for protection and future perspectives for quality evaluation, in light of present legislation aimed at protection. Agriculture and forestry are ...

While semi-quantitative information on type at medium spatial scale (around 1:100,000) are widely available across , fine-scale information and physical properties such as available water capacity (AWC) are scarce, especially for forests (Baltensweiler et al., 2021). In this regard, the East German Survey System provided a ...

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 ...

Consequences of climate change for the climate in Central and the central plains of the United States. This study aims to evaluate climate quantitatively under present and projected climatic conditions across Central (12.1°–18.9° E and 46.8°–51.1° N) and the U.S. Central Plains (90°–104° W….

Loss of biodiversity caused by the expansion, intensification and mechanization of agriculture has been identified as a major problem across . Related pressures include erosion, organic matter decline, compaction, contamination, salinization and climate change [6, 7]. Download : Download full-size image; Figure 1.

The first four threats are pertinent to agricultural systems in Atlantic , but vary in their extent between countries depending on the spatial distribution. Loss of biodiversity has not been included as a potential threat in the SFD due to lack of information that is currently available both spatially and temporally to ...

In a recent study published in Global Change Biology, scientists from 10 different countries examined changes in the chemistry of water present in the from 171 forests across for the ...

The only currently existing map of estimated topsoil organic carbon content across , so-called OCTOP map, (Jones et al. 2005) was created by applying a set of pedo-transfer rules on a combination of spatial data layers representing properties, land use and temperature.
