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 ...
Accuracy in assessing the distribution of (SOC) is an important issue because of playing key roles in the functions of both natural ecosystems and agricultural systems. There are several studies in the literature with the aim of finding the best method to assess and map the distribution of SOC content for .

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.
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 ...
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).

A multidisciplinary group of experts has examined the implications of recent scientific research for integrated policy solutions towards ensuring the sustainability of ’s soils, and identified many opportunities for policy-makers to safeguard this valuable resource for the benefit of the EU’s citizens.
The aim of the study was to understand the current state of knowledge about the impacts of management practices, investigated and/or implemented across . The results were analysed at the level and were also grouped into Regions and Environmental Zones.
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.

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 ...

In this paper, we describe the WWW-based metadatabase, which is a product of this project. The database holds detailed records of 110 long-term organic matter experiments, giving a wide geographical coverage of , and includes experiments from the part of the former Soviet Union, many of which have not been available previously.
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 ...

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 .

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).

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.
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 ...
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.
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.
