  • Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy

    Open AccessFelipe Bachion de Santana, Rebecca L Hall et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2026

    Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is, sub‐national or regional scale. This study applies MIR spectroscopy to develop a novel risk assessment a…

  • Assessing the role of artificially drained agricultural land for climate change mitigation in Ireland

    Open AccessCarsten Paul, Paul Carsten et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2017Cited by: 5

    In 2014 temperate zone emission factor revisions were published in the IPCC Wetlands Supplement. Default values for direct CO2 emissions of artificially drained organic soils were increased by a factor of 1.6 for cropland sites and by factors ranging from 14 to 24 for grassland sites. This highlights the role of drained organic soils as emission hotspots and makes their rewetting more attractive as climate change mitigation measures. Drainage emi…

  • Narratively framing emergent identities in post-agreement societies

    Owen FentonARTICLENational Identities2016Cited by: 2References: 36

    The research analyses ‘Northern Irish’ identity narratives post-agreement, and examines the configuration of frame agendas in terms of individual narrative components. A content analysis utilised news published through 1997–2014 within Northern Ireland daily newspapers – the Belfast Telegraph, the Irish News and the News Letter. A process of manifest coding produced an emergent coding scheme displaying the relative stability of media frames surro…

  • Functional Land Management for managing soil functions

    Open AccessLilian O’Sullivan, Rachel Creamer et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2015Cited by: 4References: 32

    Globally, there is growing demand for increased agricultural outputs. At the same time, the agricultural industry is expected to meet increasingly stringent environmental targets. Thus, there is an urgent pressure on the soil resource to deliver multiple functions simultaneously. The Functional Land Management framework (Schulte et al., 2014) is a conceptual tool designed to support policy making to manage soil functions to meet these multiple de…
