The negative impacts of sealing are numerous, from withdrawing fertile from biomass production to modifying the microclimate and decreasing biodiversity. Many of the processes are interrelated and propagate further undesirable consequences from local to global levels. Three issues are especially important from the viewpoint of multiscale ecological cycles and consequent environmental ...

Agricultural production systems are currently severely threatening climate stability and ecosystem resilience and constitute a large driver of environmental degradation. For example, there are severe impacts through the loss of species biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination, increase in erosion, declines in fertility ...
At the Union scale, works comprehensively investigating how land use (by comparing croplands, grasslands, and forests) and climate (cold, temperate, and arid) mediate changes in bacterial and fungal biomass are useful for policy-making purposes and the development of predictive models for biodiversity conservation (Köninger ...

The functional-factorial approach to evolution and is based on soils as a function of the combined, interacting influences of environmental factors such as geology, climate, topography and drainage, and biota. The state factor approach is covered more thoroughly in Chapter 2.
In response to growing concerns over conservation issues , on 3–4 November 1988, 18 experts from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom met and founded the ‘ Society for Conservation’ (ESSC) in Leuven (Belgium) on 4 November 1988 (Fig. 1).
The most remarkable phase of erosion occurred in the first half of 14th century, at the beginning of the Little Ice Age. The second well-known intense erosion phase occurred in the mid-18th to early 19th century—at the end of the Little Ice Age. Historical records document extreme precipitation events during these two phases ...

There has been little research, however, on the effects of biochar on three-dimensional (3-D) structure and carbon distribution within aggregates. To investigate the effects we amended two types (Ultisol and Vertisol) with three types of biochar (at the rate of 40 g biochar kg −1 ). We separated the macroaggregates (5–7 cm in ...
