By using a biochemistry-erosion model framework, Lugato et al. (2018) quantified the impact of the future climate in the C cycle at a scale and concluded that erosion is unlikely to be a future carbon sink . erosion modellers face also the challenge to propose to policy makers specific guidelines to reduce ...

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 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).

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.

Abstract. In the 2022 summer, western–central and several other regions in the northern extratropics experienced substantial moisture deficits in the wake of precipitation shortages and elevated temperatures. Much of has not witnessed a more severe drought since at least the mid-20th century, raising the question whether this is a manifestation of our warming climate ...

The latest projections of organic carbon (SOC) changes from dif-ferent Earth system models (ESMs) show a very wide range of values, adding uncertainty on land-atmospheric carbon(C) feedback under cli-mate change (1). Because the is the largest terrestrial C pool, differ-ent representations of SOC turnover may amplify the magnitude and ...

The differences in approach to assess loss by water erosion probably arise from the different circumstances pertaining at the time. Thus in the 1930s erosion was high on the agenda in the USA and was widespread (Bennet, 1939), and an understanding of processes driving erosion was needed. Plot experiments were set up at experimental ...
