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 ...

Progress in erosion research: A perspective

We start by noting that erosion research is firmly rooted in geomorphology, in contrast to the mainly agronomic foundations of North American erosion research. , the importance of field-based surveys of erosion has been emphasized by the findings of a few regional-scale, long-term monitoring exercises, most recently that ...

Achievable agricultural carbon sequestration across …

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.

Moisture Drought : A Compound Event of …

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.
