EU Observatory (EUSO) – Commission – EU Hub

The recent proposal by the Commission for a Health and Food Mission - ‘Caring for is caring for life’ - has set the ambitious challenge of ensuring that, by 2030, 75% of EU soils are healthy for food, people, nature and climate. It is no surprise that is the glue that binds the different strategies of the Green Deal.

Saline and Sodic Soils Union – Database

The Saline and Sodic Soils Map shows the area distribution of saline, sodic and potentially salt affected areas within the Union. The accuracy of input input data only allows the designation of salt affected areas with a limited level of reliability (e.g. < 50 or > 50% of the area); therefore the results represented in the map should ...

Estimating organic carbon based on data …

1. Introduction. SOC levels directly affect environmental processes such as erosion, fertility and greenhouse gas fluxes. At a global scale, SOC data are of relevance since “soils” is among the mandatory carbon pools to be reported on under the “Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry” (LULUCF) activities listed in articles 3.3 and 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol (UNFCCC, 1998).
