The methodology to perform this first pan- estimate of the total loss due to crop harvesting rests on crop statistics aggregated at regional and national level and texture data obtained through the interpolation of ca. 20,000 topsoil samples of the Land Use/Land Cover Area Frame Survey (LUCAS) (Orgiazzi et al., 2018). Other ...

Organic carbon in Austria – Status quo and foreseeable …

In forest soils, about 20% of SOC are stored in the organic surface layer and 80% in the mineral . Mountain grasslands have similar SOC stocks as forests. Extensively and intensively used grasslands in low altitudes have lower SOC stocks than mountain grasslands. The SOC stock in cropland is lower than in grasslands.

Bringing soils to life in the human and social sciences

Abstract. Despite their key importance for ecosystems and societies, soils have long remained a peripheral topic in the human and social sciences. Our paper aims to account for the recent, fast-growing literature in human and social sciences on soils. We first highlight social sciences’ shared concern for unsettling common visions of as ...
