degradation processes occurring in the Union include erosion, organic matter decline, compaction, salinisation, landslides, contamination, sealing and biodiversity decline. Effective protection policies can only be based on a detailed assessment of the costs of non-action, and the potential economic benefits from enhanced ...

The Joint Programme (EJP) was set up to contribute to these goals by developing knowledge, tools and an integrated research community to foster climate-smart sustainable agricultural management that provides a diversity of ecosystem service, such as adapting to and mitigating climate change, allowing sustainable food ...

Published 25 Oct 2016. 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 ...

Here we report details of the research initiative " Crust International" (SCIN) focusing on the biodiversity of biological crusts (BSC, composed of bacteria, algae, lichens, and bryophytes) and on functional aspects in their specific environment. Known as the so-called "colored soi …

Current legal framework for protection. The Union (EU) is a unique economic and political union between 27 countries. The Member States of the Union have agreed, as a result of their membership of the EU, to transfer some of their powers to the EU institutions in specified policy areas.

The core of this report was prepared for the Assessment on , which forms part of the 'The Environment - state and outlook 2010 Report' (SOER) 20102, coordinated by the Environment Agency (EEA). This Reference Report uses data from the Data Centre (ESDAC), managed on behalf of EU institutions by the JRC.

1. Assessment of erosion by water at scale: necessity and usefulness. The request of developing a pan- assessment for loss by water erosion comes from policy makers who aim to have dynamic tools to monitor the impact of various policies such as the Thematic Strategy, Common Agricultural Policy, and Climate Action on Land use and to develop indicators on the ...

This paper reviews and summarises the scientific literature and relevant official reports, with the aim to advance this knowledge by synthesizing, mapping, and identifying gaps regarding the status, causes, and consequences of degradation processes in the Mediterranean region. This is needed as scientific underpinning of efforts ...

moisture data were retrieved from the Space Agency’s ERA5-Land dataset, which presents monthly averaged volumetric (m 3 m-3) water content at 0–7 cm, 7–28 cm, 28–100 cm and 100–289 cm intervals, using a 0.1° × 0.1° grid (Sabater, 2019).

Under the Union (EU) Thematic Strategy for Protection, the Commission has identified contamination as a priority for the collection of policy-relevant data at scale. In order to support EU management policies, -related indicators need to be develope …

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 ...

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 ...
