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).
grasslands, topsoil carbon storage in MAOM saturates at ~50 g C kg −1 , beyond which the additional increase in SOC storage completely depends upon accrual in POM . Currently, most grasslands (80%) are below saturation, indicating a large capacity for SOC sequestration in their topsoils ( 11 ).
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 ...

Here, we conducted a systematic analysis of metal contamination urban soils based on 174 peer-reviewed studies spanning 143 urban sites and 29 countries. The results show that reporting of data on urban metals is highly heterogeneous across the study area. Over half of all studies are from only five countries (Italy ...

With the Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey (LUCAS) survey in 2009 a pan- dataset is available for the first time, consisting of around 20,000 points across 25 Member States of the Union. The aim of this study is the generation of a harmonised high-resolution erodibility map (with a grid cell size of 500 m) for the ...
Introduction. Around 40% of the global land area is devoted to agriculture. In the Union (EU), too, this share amounts to 43% ().Scientists and policy makers emphasize that this vast area of land performs many functions in addition to primary productivity (Keestra et al., 2016) and that this multi-functionality is under pressure (Stolte et al., 2016; EU, 2019).

In this study, the distribution of 76 pesticide residues was evaluated in 317 topsoil samples from across the Union. The soils were collected in 2015 and originated from 11 EU Member States and 6 main cropping systems. Over 80% of the tested soils contained pesticide residues (25% of samples had 1 residue, 58% of samples ...

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.
Knowledge on biodiversity has gained relevance in the EU after the publication of the Global Biodiversity Atlas (Orgiazzi et al., 2016a) and several international reports (EASAC – the Academies' Advisory Council, 2018; FAO et al., 2020).
