The next EUROSOIL Meeting will be celebrated in the beautiful city of Seville (Spain) on 8-12 September 2025. The week before the EUROSOIL 2025, we will also organize for the first time a Judging Contest in the dream city of Granada. Therefore this, together with Seville, will be a great opportunity to visit the mythical Andalusia ...

characteristics and environmental variables vary along the latitudinal axis across the continent, which influences predicted environmental concentrations, degree of toxicity to ...

Measurement of microbial respiration, biomass and water content. For the survey, 50 g samples that had been previously stored frozen at −20 °C were taken, thawed to 4 °C ...

The Database (Heineke et al., 1998) provides a harmonised and spatial coverage of types and descriptions, based on FAO nomenclature, at a resolution of 1:1 m scale (ca. 1 km ×1 km) in all participating countries. The basic spatial units are the mapping units (SMU)—polygons representing areas of the same ...

In the Union alone, costs related to degradation exceed 50 billion euro’s a year 15. On a global scale, degradation has also been linked to mass migrations, violence, and ...

To accomplish an post-fire erosion assessment, this study involved three main sources of data (Fig. 1), a meta-data resulting from bibliographic research on field and modelling post-fire studies, previous erosion assessments at scale for baseline estimations, and spatial data for the determination of wildfires impact on ecosystems and the correspondent vegetation ...

This review provides a summary of studies analysing metal concentrations in soils and solution at roadsides. The data collected during 27 studies covering a total of 64 sites across a number of countries were summarised. Highest median values of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined in the top layer at the first 5 m ...

In this context, the Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) has established the Data Centre (ESDAC) as a unique focal point for data and information at Union level [7]. During the last 12 years (since the Thematic Strategy adopted), the ESDAC has developed bio-physical models for better assessing the ...

Information on remediation research was gathered from four countries (Germany, the Netherlands, U.K., and Italy) and the Union to provide the reader with better insights and opportunities to pursue further areas of joint interest. Four foci for critical remediation research were identified for this review.

Response to ‘A well-established fact: Rapid mineralization of organic inputs is an important factor for carbon sequestration’ by Angers et al. Jacques Berthelin, Magdeline Laba, Gilles Lemaire, David Powlson, Daniel Tessier, Michelle Wander, Philippe C. Baveye. , Journal of . First Published: 16 July 2022. Full ...

A monitoring program should be representative in terms of (i) climate conditions, (ii) different types, and (iii) land use types within the Union. The physical, chemical, and biological state of soils should be monitored in order to reach the aims of the Strategy for 2030 and the provisions of the proposed ...

For each function the maximum potential was estimated across the Union and changes in trade-offs were assessed. By deriving current and potential function delivery from Bayesian networks a better understanding is gained of how different functions and their interdependencies can differ depending on , climate and ...

is a vital component of natural capital, hosting rich biodiversity and providing critical ecosystem services, such as food production, water purification and carbon storage. However, soils are under increasing pressure and comprehensive monitoring to asses health is lacking. Published today, a Environment Agency (EEA) report presents a core set of indicators ...

Soils have achieved prominence in the political agenda of the Commission with the proposal for a Monitoring Law and the ambitious Mission research framework. The EU Observatory (EUSO) used the latest state-of-the-art pan- datasets to propose a preliminary assessment of health in the EU based on 18 ...

Dataset. The analysis of research is particularly relevant given the increased political attention on soils at EU and global levels. This dataset includes a collection of EU Research projects in soils (n = 1101 projects) funded by the successive Commission Framework Programs (FP) for research and innovation (from FP1 to H2020).

With a surge in both hazardous and non-hazardous waste in recent decades, Union countries are losing their quality which in turn affects the agricultural production of their economies. Taking this into account, this study presents the effect of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, plastic waste, and electronic waste on health for 24 Union (EU) countries during 2004 ...

The mean loss rate in the Union’s erosion-prone lands (agricultural, forests and semi-natural areas) was found to be 2.46 t ha-1 yr-1, resulting in a total loss of 970 Mt ...

The Joint Programme ‘Towards climate-smart and sustainable agricultural management’ (EJP , 2020–2025) launched by the Union is a major initiative to develop an integrated research community on agricultural soils. research is essential for understanding and enhancing the contribution of ...

The JRC supports the Thematic Strategy for Protection, addressing areas such as erosion, contamination, compaction, landslides and loss of biodiversity and organic matter. provides the main foundation for human activity and housing. It is a limited and fragile resource, that 's environment policy seeks to protect.
