In this regard, the East German Survey System provided a ...

1. Introduction. The increasing and uncontrolled plastic production in recent decades results in considerable pollution in the environment. According to the statistics of Plastics- (2018), the annual production of plastic in 2017 now exceeded 348 million tons, and this is assessed that by the year of 2050, the annual plastics production could be increased up to 33 billion tones globally ...

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 ...

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 ...
For , the current state of scientific knowledge indicates that tolerable rates range from ca. 0.3 to 1.4 t ha −1 yr −1 depending on the driving factors of weathering (e.g. parent material, climate, land use) and dust deposition (e.g. geographic position; distance to source).
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 ...

There are an estimated 340 000 contaminated pieces of land , most of which are yet to be identified, according to a new -wide assessment. contamination widespread ... Managing contaminated land costs an estimated € 6.5 billion per year. Much of this is paid by companies but there is also a high public cost.
The Research Executive Agency (REA) manages several EU-funded projects that can contribute to this vision. These projects will support the objectives of the EU mission A Deal for , which, will provide EUR 320 million in seed funding through Horizon from 2021-2023. The projects will also help us to learn more about ...
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.
A proposed Horizon EU mission provides the blueprint for setting on a path towards sustainable management. One of the proposed targets is to make sure that at least 75% of all soils are in a healthy state by 2030. The EU Observatory launched today will monitor the progress towards the achievement of these goals.
ECHO is a Research and Innovation Action co-funded by the Union under the Horizon programme, and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). It will last 4 years – from June 2023 to May 2027. The project aims to engage citizens in protecting and restoring soils by building their skills and enhancing their knowledge on soils.

1. Introduction. Approximately one third of the land area is covered by forests (FOREST UNECE FAO, 2011).Their soils, including the forest floors, are considered a major store for terrestrial carbon (C), with an equivalent (Smith et al., 2006) or a much larger (Dixon et al., 1994, Eswaran et al., 1993, Lal, 2005) amount of C than found in the aboveground biomass.

An average rate of loss for by sheet and rill erosion, based on modelling, of 2.46 t/ha/year has been proposed (Panagos, Borrelli, et al., 2016; Panagos, Imeson, et al., 2016). These rates are not a threat to our ability to continue to produce crops for hundreds of years except in areas of extremely thin soils.

The intensity and impact of pollution vary significantly across . This is due to the large differences across regions with respect to properties, land use, the type and number of agricultural inputs (fertilisers or manure) and climate.
