Large-scale deployment of grass in crop rotations as a multifunctional climate mitigation strategy [PDF]
The agriculture sector can contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing its own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, sequestering carbon in vegetation and soils, and providing biomass to substitute for fossil fuels and other GHG-intensive products. The

Global Wind Erosion Reduction Driven by Changing Climate and Land Use
While significant progress has been achieved in researching water erosion, our understanding of global patterns and the magnitude of wind soil erosion remains limited.

Evaluation of freeze-thaw wind erosion and analysis of influencing factors on the Tibetan Plateau based on the improved RWEQ [PDF]
Freeze-thaw wind erosion refers to the process in which temperature fluctuations cause changes in the surface structure, significantly impacting on the formation of surface landform and soil properties. However, due to the particularity and complexity of

Soil Fugitive Dust Pollution in Bole City Near Sayram Lake. [PDF]
Abstract Soil fugitive dust significantly degrades air quality in arid regions like Bole City, China. To address methodological limitations causing Particulate matter (PM) overestimation, this study aimed to: (a) Develop a refined 2021 inventory for PM10 and PM2.5 soil dust emissions in Bole City by integrating localized particle size data and the ...

Estimation of regional differences in wind erosion sensitivity in Hungary [PDF]
In Hungary, wind erosion is one of the most serious natural hazards. Spatial and temporal variation in the factors that determine the location and intensity of wind erosion damage are not well known, nor are the regional and local sensitivities to ...

We explored how the impact of ecosystem restoration on ecosystem services dynamics affected by drought and rising CO2. Our results showed rising CO2 enhances the ecosystem services contributed by ecological restoration. However, the negative effect of drought can offset most or even all the ecosystem service provision enhancement of rising CO2 and ...

Abstract Regional assessments of the wind erosion risk are rare and vary due to the methods used and the available data to be included. The adaptation of existing methods has the advantage that the results can be compared directly. We adopted an already successfully applied methodology (ILSWE—applied in East Africa), to investigate the spatiotemporal ...

Abstract The monitoring of land management practices is vital for the protection of soil resource and the environment. Here, we present a new approach to monitor sustainable land management using widely available remotely sensed data, such as MODIS fractional vegetation cover data. The method is based on the concept of maintaining sufficient vegetation

Indicators to support the soil perspectives of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) [PDF]
In this report, we evaluate the from the soil perspective and provide baseline data for the two impact indicators (soil erosion, soil organic carbon) related to soil in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

European Soil Data Centre 2.0: Soil data and knowledge in support of the EU policies
Abstract The European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC), hosted by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), is the focal point for soil data, support to policy making and awareness raising for the European Union (EU). Established in 2006 to provide harmonised soil‐related information for the EU Member States, and ESDAC currently hosts 88 datasets,
