Policy implications of multiple concurrent soil erosion processes in European farmland

Pasquale Borrelli et al.

Summary: This study uses a multi-model approach to assess the spatial risk of soil erosion by various processes and their co-occurrence, as well as the potential intersections with future climate conditions. The findings indicate that a significant area of arable land in the European Union is vulnerable to erosion, with different degrees of risk depending on the number of driving factors. The results highlight the importance of developing monitoring networks and targeted mitigation strategies to protect soils under the Common Agricultural Policy. This research contributes to the goal of achieving sustainable and biodiversity-friendly agriculture advocated in the EU Green Deal.

A systematic review of the incorrect use of an empirical equation for the estimation of the rainfall erosivity around the globe

Walter Chen et al.

Summary: This study reveals the prevalence of incorrect R equations in soil erosion research, with an increasing trend in recent years. The use of incorrect R equations can lead to significant bias in estimating the R factor and soil erosion, potentially impacting numerous studies. The primary objective of this study is to raise awareness of the use of incorrect R equations, aiming to reduce or prevent their further dissemination and minimize the publication of biased results.

EUSEDcollab: a network of data from European catchments to monitor net soil erosion by water

Francis Matthews et al.

Summary: As a network of researchers, we have released an open-access database called EUSEDcollab, which contains time series records of water discharge and suspended sediment yield collected from small to medium sized catchments in Europe. EUSEDcollab was compiled to address the lack of open-access data at relevant scales for research on runoff, soil erosion, and sediment delivery. The database includes data from multiple sources that have been harmonized into a common time series and metadata structure. It covers over 1600 catchment years of data from 245 catchments across ten European countries, with temporal resolutions of event, daily, and monthly. The database focuses on small to medium sized catchment drainage areas and is applicable for soil erosion research. We have released this database with the aim of fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange through the European Union Soil Observatory (EUSO).

Global rainfall erosivity projections for 2050 and 2070

Panos Panagos et al.

Summary: Rainfall erosivity, a major driver of soil and nutrient losses, is projected to increase globally in the future. This study presents future erosivity projections based on simulated climate models, providing valuable information for soil erosion, conservation, and climate change research. The results suggest a potential increase in global soil erosion rates by 30-66% by 2070.

GloSEM: High-resolution global estimates of present and future soil displacement in croplands by water erosion

Pasquale Borrelli et al.

Summary: Healthy soil is crucial for global agriculture and food security. This study provides high-resolution global estimates of water erosion-induced soil displacement using the GloSEM platform, considering regional farming systems, conservation agriculture, and climate change projections. The data and statistics presented support researchers and decision-makers in understanding the extent and geography of soil erosion and identifying potential hotspots for action.

Denudation and geomorphic change in the Anthropocene; a global overview.

Antonio Cendrero et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of human activity on geomorphic processes, showing an acceleration in certain processes largely due to anthropogenic landscape changes. Direct and indirect human-induced denudation has experienced a significant increase, while slope movements have intensified, leading to an increase in the frequency of hazardous events and disasters.

Projections of soil loss by water erosion in Europe by 2050

Panos Panagos et al.

Summary: Future soil erosion rates are projected to increase in the agricultural areas of the EU and UK due to expected changes in climatic conditions and land use patterns. While land use change may lead to a decrease in soil erosion rates, the projected increase in future rainfall erosivity will require targeted intervention measures to address soil erosion effectively. Agro-environmental policies, specifically those outlined in the EU Common Agricultural Policy, are proposed as the most effective mechanisms to mitigate the impact of climate change on soil losses.
