  • 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 ...
  • Modeling sediment yields in Italian catchments. 
    van Rompaey, Anton; Bazzoffi, Paolo; Jones, Robert J. A.; Montanarella, Luca (Elsevier, 2005-02-01)
    Sediment yield observations, derived from 40 long-term sedimentation records in Italian reservoirs, were used to calibrate and validate the spatially distributed sediment delivery model WaTEM/SEDEM using the best data ...
  • 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 ...

    Legacy soil data have been produced over 70 years in nearly all countries of the world. Unfortunately, data, information and knowledge are still currently fragmented and at risk of getting lost if they remain in a paper ...
  • Subsoil Compaction: A hidden form of Soil Sealing in Europe 
    Jones, Robert J. A.; Montanarella, Luca (Joint Research Centre, 2001-06)
    There are two definitions of ‘soil sealing’: (I) ‘covering (sealing) the soil surface by impervious materials, e.g. concrete, metal, glass, tarmac and plastic’; and (II) ‘changing the nature of the soil such that it ...
