  • 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 ...
  • The PESERA coarse scale erosion model for Europe: I – Model rationale and implementation. 
    Kirkby, M. J.; Irvine, B.; Jones, Robert J. A.; Govers, G.; team, PESERA (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-12)
    The principles and theoretical background are presented for a new process-based model (PESERA) that is designed to estimate long-term average erosion rates at 1 km resolution and has, to date, been applied to most of Europe. ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • Use of soil and climate data to assess the risk of agricultural drought for policy support in Europe. 
    Zdruli, Pandi; Jones, Robert J. A.; Montanarella, Luca (INRA / EDP Sciences, 2001-01)
    This paper describes the use of soil and climatic data for assessing the risk of drought in Europe. Soil moisture regimes are defined for soil classification purposes and these can be used to delineate areas with the same ...
  • Vulnerability of subsoils in Europe to compaction: a preliminary analysis. 
    Jones, Robert J. A.; Spoor, G.; Thomasson, A. J. (Elsevier, 2003-10)
    Identifying the vulnerability of subsoils to compaction damage is an increasingly important issue both in the planning and execution of farming operations and in planning environmental protection measures. Ideally, subsoil ...
