One can easily make the case that in in general, given the inherent complexity and heterogeneity of the material we work with, it is pointless to acquire data in the absence of a clear question that requires an answer. 1 Indeed, very different information about organic matter needs to be obtained, depending on whether one ...

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.
Care will involve: (1) Review of existing data on -improving cropping systems; (2) Definition of what constitutes a -improving cropping system; (3) Evaluation of -improving cropping systems at 16 study sites ; (4) Modelling to upscale results from study sites in order to recommend -improving cropping systems for locations under various scenarios; (5 ...
salinization. The incremental loss and deterioration of 's resource is expected to continue, and will probably increase as a result of climate and land-use changes. From the Environmental Agency it was estimated that 220 million ha of (11% of the degraded soils worldwide) are degraded due to one or several of
Anthropogenic warming is anticipated to increase moisture drought in the future. However, projections are accompanied by large uncertainty due to varying estimates of future warming. Here, using an ensemble of hydrological and land-surface models, forced with bias-corrected downscaled general circulation model output, we estimate the ...

In total there are 6 categories: 0 - no . This represents water bodies, glaciers and rock outcrops. 1 - low susceptibility to compaction. 2. - medium susceptibility to compaction. 3. - high susceptibility to compaction. 4. - very high susceptibility to compaction. 9. - no evaluation possible.
The regional maps were developed based on the regional surveys and illustrate the bias existing in data for different regions.
