  • Soil policy principles and a policymaking framework using the soil security concept

    Open AccessAmin Sharififar, Pasquale Borrelli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2025References: 2

    There is a growing demand for more soil-centric policies to ensure sustainable land management and soil security. The concept of soil security enhances our understanding of soil multifunctionality as a comprehensive framework for soil protection. Utilising the soil security concept in policymaking can substantially improve the consistency and harmonisation of regional and global policies related to soil security. This paper reviews the fundamenta…

  • Linkages between Soil Security and One Health

    Open AccessTom Swan, Alex B Mcbratney et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Soil provides multiple and diverse functions (e.g., the provision of food and the regulation of carbon), which underpin the health of animals, humans, the environment and the planet. However, the world’s soils face existential challenges. To this end, the concept of Soil Security was developed, compelled to: “maintain and improve soils worldwide so that they can continue to provide food, fiber and fresh water, contribute to energy and climate sus…

  • Human-induced changes in Indonesian peatlands increase drought severity

    Open AccessMuh Taufik, Budiman Minasny et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Indonesian peatlands are critical to the global carbon cycle, but they also support a large number of local economies. Intense forest clearing and draining in these peatlands is causing severe ecological and environmental impacts. Most studies highlighted increased carbon emission in the region through drought and large‐scale fires, further accelerating peatland degradation. Yet, little is known about the long-term impacts of human-induced distur…

  • Soil carbon 4 per mille

    Open AccessBudiman Minasny, Brendan P Malone et al.ARTICLEGeoderma2017

    The ‘4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate’ was launched at the COP21 with an aspiration to increase global soil organic matter stocks by 4 per 1000 (or 0.4 %) per year as a compensation for the global emissions of greenhouse gases by anthropogenic sources. This paper surveyed the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock estimates and sequestration potentials from 20 regions in the world (New Zealand, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Tanzania, In…
