Our study has proposed the first topsoil OC content map of which is based on direct harmonized measurements stored in a database, produced using DSM techniques. The model shows a fairly good accuracy for most of the EU (R2 =0.28), except for Scandinavia (R2 =0.09) where organic topsoils predominate.

According to these Corine (Coordination of information on the environment) monitoring results, ’s land cover has remained relatively stable since 2000, with about 25 % covered by arable land and permanent crops, 17 % by pastures and 34 % by forests. However, on closer inspection of recent land cover changes, two noteworthy trends emerge.
Abstract. For decades, geography has been mainly a qualitative and descriptive discipline. There are now technologies and mathematical tools available that allow formalizing geography in more quantitative terms. In this paper, the distribution and diversity of the soils of are analyzed using GIS tools and pedodiversity algorithms.
The growth stimulus due to elevated CO 2 may offset potentially negative yield impacts of temperature increase by +2°C in most of . degradation causes a calorie vulnerability ranging from 0 to 50 Gcal ha-1 due to insufficient compensation for nutrient depletion and this might undermine climate benefits in many regions, if not ...

In Central and Western , degradation problems are similar, although there is less sealing. Forty-five percent of the soils have a low content of organic matter. There are great differences with respect to the soils’ physical, chemical, and biological properties. More than 320 major types have been identified in ...
We identify a negative relationship between SM and TXx, whereby a 100 mm decrease in model-based SM is associated with a 1.6 °C increase in TXx in Southern-Central and Southeastern . Dry SM conditions result in a 2–4 °C increase in the 20-year return value of TXx compared to wet conditions in these two regions.

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 .
The physiographic region of the Central Russian Upland, situated in the Central part of Eastern , is characterized by very fertile grassland soils—Chernozems (Mollisols in the USDA taxonomy). However, over the last several centuries this region has experienced intense land-use conversion. The most widespread and significant land-use change is the extensive cultivation of these soils ...
countries and regions differ in many ways, the most obvious being the 24 official languages spoken across . However, related to citizen practice, additional differences can be identified: socio-geographical differences, such as the degree of individualism versus collectivity espoused; political differences regarding the level of democracy expressed; and cultural ...
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 ...

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).
