Cadmium in topsoils of the Union – ScienceDirect

Using the 21,682 samples from the LUCAS survey, we aim to estimate the spatial distribution of the concentration of Cd in the Union (EU) and UK topsoil. Out of the total, 72.6 % of the samples have Cd values <0.07 mg kg −1 , 21.6 % in the range 0.07–1 mg kg −1 and the remaining 5.5 % higher than the threshold of 1 mg kg ...

By contrast, forestland and other semi-natural vegetation areas experience an overall surplus of sediments which is driven by a re-deposition of sediments eroded from agricultural land. Combining the predicted loss rates with the organic carbon (SOC) stock, we estimate a SOC displacement by water erosion of 14.5 Tg yr −1.

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.
