from various land-use types under temperate climate conditions suggest that the amount of brought to the surface by earthworms annually as castings is about 40 t ha −1 year −1 (based on 19 studies), contributing about 0.4 cm (based on 13 studies) of topsoil per year. Under a temperate climate, earthworms can thus potentially ...
Coupling Hg stocks in topsoil with losses and sediment distribution . • Hg displaced by water erosion is c.a. 43 Mg yr − 1 and c.a. 6 Mg Hg yr − 1 reach the rivers. • Agricultural lands contributes to more than 85% of Hg losses. • The Mediterranean Sea receives almost half of the Hg fluxes followed by Black Sea.

A tremendous effort has been already invested in monitoring , at country and at EU levels. However, there is no comprehensive and updated body of knowledge for identifying healthy soils and those that are degraded and require protection.
contamination is one of the greatest concerns among the threats to resources and globally. Despite of its importance there was only very course scale (1/5000 km 2) data available on heavy metal concentrations prior to the LUCAS topsoil survey, which had a sampling density of 200 km 2. Based on the results of the LUCAS ...

Analysis of P status was carried out with the model based on clay and pH (Fig. 3) since it was not easy to find reliable and current information on average annual rainfall at all sampling points of the LUCAS project. Additionally, rainfall is the most changeable predictive factor, and annual variation can be significant in ...
By using a biochemistry-erosion model framework, Lugato et al.

Description: This dataset includes the past reconstruction of erosion rates (incuding UK, Switzerland and Western balkans). The data provided have are aggregated per decade starting from 1860. The erosion change is driven by changes in land use and rainfall erosivity. The simulations have been done using the CE-DYNAM model.
, recent studies have modelled water, wind and tillage erosion at continental scale and shed new light on their geography. However, to acquire a comprehensive picture of erosion threats more processes need to be addressed and made visible to decision-makers.
