They found roles for functions in virtually all of them, except SDGs 5, 10, 14 and 17, which assumes, among other things, that we in the community have nothing to contribute to gender issues, although in some countries almost all the preparation of soils for cropping is carried out by women, or to the research on the “land ...
In densely populated western fertility research started because there was little spare land, whereas in the Russian Empire and the United States land was amply available and survey developed. Since the second World War, has greatly benefited from new instrumentation and developments in other sciences.

where SOC is the organic carbon content of the spatially explicit topsoil layer (Mg ha −1 in the 0–30 cm) computed for (1 km grid cell resolution) (Lugato et al., 2016), SL is the net loss estimated by WaTEM/SEDEM (Mg ha −1 yr −1), BD is the bulk density (Mg m 3) derived from the topsoil physical properties map at ...
In this context, the Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) has established the Data Centre (ESDAC) as a unique focal point for data and information at Union level [7].

Research is key to achieving eight ambitious objectives that include reducing desertification, conserving organic carbon stocks and improving structure to enhance biodiversity. In this context, the EU-funded SOLO project will ...
Keeping in mind that erosion is a matter of priority in Mexico and that the United Nations guidelines with respect to erosion for workgroups and scientific communities are to make known the research results (FAO & IPTS, 2015), the aim of the present article is to identify the main research strategies for the study of the estimation ...
compaction is a major threat where about 32% of soils are highly susceptible and 18% are moderately susceptible to it ( Commission, 2021b). In permanent grasslands, compaction occurs due to animal trampling, machinery wheeling and poaching or pugging (i.e. penetration of surface by the animal hooves).
The Journal of , as one of the premier journals in the field, fosters that understanding by publishing the latest significant findings of research, the description of new techniques, and up-to-date authoritative and critical reviews over the whole field of and its applications. Journal of ...
Permanent grasslands across are very diverse in appearance (Fig. 1).This is partly driven by inherent factors such as climate and , but also by varying intensities of grassland management, resulting in continuous gradients of fertilisation and defoliation (mowing or grazing) intensities (Blüthgen et al., 2012).
The EU strategy for 2030 sets out a framework and concrete measures to protect and restore soils, and ensure that they are used sustainably. A new Monitoring Law will put the EU on a pathway to healthy soils by 2050. This proposal for the first-ever EU legislation on soils provides a harmonised definition of health, puts in place ...

Introduction. Healthy soils are critical for supporting human health. They are essential for food, biomass and fibre production, the production of certain medicines, and retaining and filtering water. Healthy soils also play a key role in carbon and nutrient cycles. pollution affects fertility; this jeopardises food security, which is ...

For all species — animals and plants living on land or water — land is vital. — one of the essential components of land — is a very complex and often undervalued element, teeming with life. Unfortunately, the way we currently use land and and in the world is not sustainable. This has significant impacts on life on land.

The new assessment of loss by water erosion based on RUSLE2015 (Panagos et al., 2015a) was criticized in a comment by Fiener and Auerswald (2015).The objective of the pan- assessment was not to challenge any regional- or national-scale modelling but to develop a harmonized assessment aiming to improve our knowledge and understanding of erosion by water across the ...

The EU has realized the importance of strengthening research and capacity in to meet both global and local challenges in sustainable and climate smart management. However, only 10% of higher education institutes have dedicated departments. Building the human capacity will therefore be critical.
A monitoring program should be representative in terms of (i) climate conditions, (ii) different types, and (iii) land use types within the Union. The physical, chemical, and biological state of soils should be monitored in order to reach the aims of the Strategy for 2030 and the provisions of the proposed ...

Information on remediation research was gathered from four countries (Germany, the Netherlands, U.K., and Italy) and the Union to provide the reader with better insights and opportunities to pursue further areas of joint interest. Four foci for critical remediation research were identified for this review.

The importance of soils in the Earth system must make us, the scientists, more noticeable at the EGU. The aim of the Division on System Sciences ( SSS) is to coordinate the EGU scientific programme on and related activities. The SSS contributes actively with EGU by promoting scientific interchange and dissemination of ...
The actual average net losses in the watershed varied from 2·57 t/ha/yr for conventional management systems to 0.01 t/ha/yr for grassland. This corresponds to a maximum average annual loss of about 0·2 mm, which is considered to be the average annual formation rate and therefore an acceptable loss.
For each function the maximum potential was estimated across the Union and changes in trade-offs were assessed. By deriving current and potential function delivery from Bayesian networks a better understanding is gained of how different functions and their interdependencies can differ depending on , climate and ...

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 ...
