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.

erosion and runoff: The need to rethink mitigation …

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.
