About 65% of the agricultural land (2.3 billion ha) is degraded , mainly due to poor fertility management practices, erosion, and acidification (Zingore et al. Citation 2015). Severely degraded soils account for about 350 million ha or 20–25% of the total land area, of which about 100 million ha is estimated to be ...
Abstract. This paper defines tillage, indicating that as it is mostly a physical concern of the , it has not been studied as much as chemically related properties. Tillage in shifting cultivation is also reviewed. Different tillage systems in a number of east Countries namely Tanzania, Malawi, Botswana, Kenya, Zambia and Uganda ...

A proposed Horizon EU mission provides the blueprint for setting on a path towards sustainable management. One of the proposed targets is to make sure that at least 75% of all soils are in a healthy state by 2030. The EU Observatory launched today will monitor the progress towards the achievement of these goals.

Abstract. In the late 1800s, several terms described the study of , including agrology, agrogeology, agricultural chemistry, and pedology. The term was not used until the early 1900s and became more widely used after the journal was established in 1916. In 1908, Peter Treitz from Hungary and Gheorghe Murgoci from ...
The British Society of (BSSS) is an established international membership organisation committed to the study of in its widest aspects. The society brings together those working within academia, practitioners implementing in industry and all those working with, or with an interest in soils.
hosts more than 25% of all biodiversity and provides 95-99% of food to 8 billion people. It provides us with clean water and it is the largest terrestrial pool of carbon. Keeping our soils healthy is essential for life on Earth. The EU Mission has recently opened a call for €95 million to identify strategies for land decontamination ...
In light of the remarkable feedback, it was thought important to also ensure that the young scientists had the opportunity to see their results published in a peer-reviewed journal. Considering the overall context of the initiative, a special issue in the Journal of (EJSS) turned out to be the most suitable option ...
In contrast, the country discontinuities in the actual rate of erosion are large: around 1.4 t ha −1 yr −1 on all land and 1.8 t ha −1 yr −1 on cropland. These values reflect the ...
The beginning of resource inventories, which was the dominant research in many countries, is dated back in the early twentieth century; some countries started with systematic survey, some with reconnaissance studies, and others produced general information with local observation. The 1970s FAO-UNESCO volume VI was the first ever official map of soils with ...

is defined as a set of fertility management practices that necessarily include the use of fertilizer, organic inputs, and improved germplasm combined with the knowledge on how to adapt these practices to local conditions, aiming at maximizing agronomic use efficiency of the applied nutrients and improving crop productivity (Vanlauwe et al. 2010 ...
The erodibility dataset overcomes the problems of limited data availability for assessment and presents a high quality resource for modellers who aim at erosion estimation on local/regional, national or scale. The new proposed dataset has also been verified against local/regional/national studies with very good results.

The Partnership (AfSP) was established in May 2015. It is composed of the Sub-Saharan countries. soils are very diverse and have great potential and value for food security and overall sustainable development. However, degradation is a serious process that is threatening the region’s resources through its ...
Contributors include those currently working for the research programme, COST Action 639 BurnOut (www.cost639.net; 2006-2010).

By contrast, forestland and other semi-natural vegetation areas experience an overall surplus of sediments which is driven by a re-deposition of sediments eroded from agricultural land. Combining the predicted loss rates with the organic carbon (SOC) stock, we estimate a SOC displacement by water erosion of 14.5 Tg yr −1.

Future fertility trials should, therefore, particularly aim at identifying practices for judicious use of organic materials and their combination with mineral fertilizers. Shortcomings of past fertility research include limited economic analysis of results and use of trial sites and management that poorly represented those of ...

1. Introduction. Approximately one third of the land area is covered by forests (FOREST UNECE FAO, 2011).Their soils, including the forest floors, are considered a major store for terrestrial carbon (C), with an equivalent (Smith et al., 2006) or a much larger (Dixon et al., 1994, Eswaran et al., 1993, Lal, 2005) amount of C than found in the aboveground biomass.
