erosion is mainly a natural process, occurring over geological time, but its rate has been significantly increased by human activities. The Commission's Thematic Strategy for Protection declares that erosion is a major threat to resources of .

1 INTRODUCTION. The topic of has been back on the Union (EU) agenda for a few years now. After the failure of the Directive proposal establishing a framework for the protection of and its withdrawal by the EU Commission on 24 April 2014, concerns about soils in the EU have gained a new momentum thanks to the dynamics created by the EU Green Deal (Panagos et al., 2022).

erosion by water is one of the major threats to soils in the Union, with a negative impact on ecosystem services, crop production, drinking water and carbon stocks. The Commission’s Thematic Strategy has identified erosion as a relevant issue for the Union, and has proposed an approach to monitor ...

The digital maps of pH and CaCO 3 with 250 m resolution at scale were generated. Both pH value and CaCO 3 content in Northern were lower than those in Southern . Moreover, the pH and CaCO 3 showed a positive correlation in the 28 countries in terms of the Pearson correlation coefficient values.

Starting from this consideration, the ESP together with the Society for Conservation (ESSC) and the Confederation of Societies (ECSSS) prepared and signed a “petition” (also signed by the President of all the societies of ) that has been sent to the ERC President.
