  • The distribution of peatland in Europe. 
    Montanarella, Luca; Jones, Robert J. A.; Hiederer, Roland (Jointly by International Mire Conservation Group and International Peat Society, 2006)
    This paper derives the distribution of peatland in Europe as the extent of peat and peat-topped soils indicated by soil databases. The data sources were the 1:1,000,000 European Soil Database (v1.0) and a data set of organic ...
  • Estimating organic carbon in the soils of Europe for policy support. 
    Jones, Robert J. A.; Hiederer, Roland; Rusco, E.; Montanarella, Luca (Blackwell, 2005-10)
    The estimation of soil carbon content is of pressing concern for soil protection and in mitigation strategies for global warming. This paper describes the methodology developed and the results obtained in a study aimed at ...
  • Monitoring rangeland vegetation in the Sahel by Landsat MSS and NOAA AVHRR 
    Hiederer, Roland (Cranfield University, 1991-07)
    Quantities of herbaceous vegetation of Sahelian rangelands in Niger and Mali were compared to vegetation indices (VI) derived from Landsat MSS and NOAA AVHRR LAC images. Field data was collected in 1985,1988 and 1989 in ...
  • Projected changes in mineral soil carbon of European forests, 1990–2100 
    Smith, Pete; Smith, Jo; Wattenbach, Martin; Meyer, Jeannette; Lindner, Marcus; Zaehle, Sönke; Hiederer, Roland; Jones, Robert J. A.; Montanarella, Luca; Rounsevell, Mark; Reginster, Isabelle; Kankaanpää, Susanna (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2006)
    Forests are a major land use in Europe, and European forest soils contain about the same amount of carbon as is found in tree biomass. Changes in the size of the forest soil carbon pool could have significant impacts on ...
  • Soil Profile Analytical Database for Europe (SPADE): Reconstruction and Validation of the Measured Data (SPADE/M) 
    Hiederer, Roland; Jones, Robert J. A.; Daroussin, J. (Royal Danish Geographical Society, 2006)
    The Soil Profile Analytical Database of Europe of Measured profiles (SPADE/M) was created to provide a common structure for storing harmonized information on typical soil profile properties of European soils. The main ...
