priorities in the Union – ScienceDirect

The Union puts the concept of healthy soils at the core of the Green Deal. •. Healthy soils contribute to achieve climate neutrality, zero pollution, sustainable food provision and resilient environment. •. 70% of EU soils are in an unhealthy condition with erosion, carbon loss, land take and contamination being major threats.

Crop production faces the challenge to remain profitable while at the same time achieving environmental sustainability. Average wheat yields in several . countries are less than what is locally attainable [1,2,3,4], possibly because of suboptimal management and/or impairment caused by poor quality (defined as ‘the capacity of a to function within ecosystem and ...

Acidification of croplands by nitrogen fertilization …

acidification is an ongoing problem in intensively cultivated croplands due to inefficient and excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization. We collected high-resolution data comprising 19,969 topsoil (0–20 cm) samples from the Land Use and Coverage Area frame Survey (LUCAS) of the commission in 2009 to assess the impact of N fertilization on buffering substances such as carbonates and ...

bulk density assessment – ScienceDirect

The topsoil Land Use and Cover Area frame Statistical survey (LUCAS) aims at collecting harmonised data about the state of health over the extent of Union (EU). In the LUCAS 2018 survey, bulk density has been analysed for three depths, i.e., 0–10 cm = 6140 sites; 10–20 cm = 5684 sites and 20–30 cm =139 sites.
