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 ...

Many authors already showed that LUCAS survey is a useful database for digital mapping techniques: erodibility map (Panagos et al., 2014, Panagos et al., 2015), creation of maps for the topsoil organic carbon content of (de Brogniez et al., 2015) or a map of topsoil physical properties (Ballabio et al., 2016).
The current use of erosion models was investigated through an exploratory survey of 46 model applications covering 18 countries. This novel analysis of erosion model applications revealed a variation in parameterisation, incorporation of landscape elements and mitigation measures with implications for connectivity and ...

In the analysis by land type, arable land is the most affected category with a 1,694 km2 impact, or 47 percent of the land consumed between 2012 and 2018. Pasture land came next with 1,276 km2, or 36 percent. Forest loss affected only 338 km2. “The major land use pressure causing these changes”, the report says, “is the ...

assessment reports showing that degradation is a serious problem . The overall objective of the Strategy is (i) to prevent further degradation and to preserve its functions, and (ii) to restore degraded soils. The Strategy recognizes that certain threats, such as erosion, organic matter
Abstract Compound events are extreme impacts that depend on multiple variables that need not be extreme themselves. In this study, we analyze moisture drought as a compound event of precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) on multiple time scales related to both meteorological drought and heat waves in wet, transitional, and dry climates during summer.

Here, we evaluated country-specific SCS potentials of agricultural land for 24 countries . Based on a detailed survey of available literature, we estimate that between 0.1% and 27% of the agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can potentially be compensated by SCS annually within the next decades.
A strategic research agenda to make better use of land and soils . and land use research is fragmented . Now, researchers and practitioners have developed a comprehensive agenda on key knowledge gaps that research needs to address for the benefit of society now and in the future.
Also there are positive signals; in the recently proposed Green Deal, soils are identified as key element for achieving the ambitious target of a climate neutral Union by 2050, while sustaining the role of soils as a large biodiversity pool .
Results at the plot/farm scale showed a small positive impact of SICS on environment and , no effect on sustainability, and small negative impacts on economic and sociocultural dimensions. Modelling showed that different SICS had different impacts across -indicating the importance of understanding local dynamics -wide ...
In response to growing concerns over conservation issues , on 3–4 November 1988, 18 experts from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom met and founded the ‘ Society for Conservation’ (ESSC) in Leuven (Belgium) on 4 November 1988 (Fig. 1).

Section snippets Study sites and sampling. We selected 24 study sites across . These sites comprise the following four LUC types with six replicate sites each: cropland to grassland and vice versa, cropland to forest and grassland to forest, which are the most relevant LUC types .
2.1 Environmental Policy Making . The year 1972 marked the birth of environmental policy at EU level, as well as in the international arena. In this year the Heads of State and of Government adopted a declaration at the October Council Meeting in Paris which emphasized the importance of a Community Environmental Policy and to this end invited the Community Institutions to ...
, the Mediterranean areas are a hotspot for erosion and land degradation due to a combination of climatic conditions, soils, geomorphology and anthropic pressure. organic carbon (SOC) is considered a key indicator of quality as it relates to other fundamental functions supporting crucial ecosystem services.

Environmental quality is a major political concern and the important role of the is widely recognized. However, still has an important role to play in translating good intentions into policies supporting the implementation of innovative management procedures that can ensure sustainable production systems in harmony with nature.
conservation started to gain political attention during the last decade of the 20th Century and it became rapidly obvious that conservation was a complex issue, particularly , where long historical development has had a deep impact on resources (Imeson et al., 2006). Due to the potential of for ...
