  • Projections of soil loss by water erosion in Europe by 2050

    Open AccessPanos Panagos, Cristiano Ballabio et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021Cited by: 1References: 3

    Changes in future soil erosion rates are driven by climatic conditions, land use patterns, socio-economic development, farmers’ choices, and importantly modified by agro-environmental policies. This study simulates the impact of expected climatic and land use change projections on future rates of soil erosion by water (sheet and rill processes) in 2050 within the agricultural areas of the European Union and the UK, compared to a current represent…

  • Land use and climate change impacts on global soil erosion by water (2015-2070)

    Open AccessPasquale Borrelli, David A Robinson et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2020

    Significance We use the latest projections of climate and land use change to assess potential global soil erosion rates by water to address policy questions; working toward the goals of the United Nations working groups under the Inter-Governmental Technical Panel on Soils of the Global Soil Partnership. This effort will enable policy makers to explore erosion extent, identify possible hotspots, and work with stakeholders to mitigate impacts. In …

  • An assessment of the global impact of 21st century land use change on soil erosion

    Open AccessPasquale Borrelli, David A Robinson et al.ARTICLENature Communications2017

    Human activity and related land use change are the primary cause of accelerated soil erosion, which has substantial implications for nutrient and carbon cycling, land productivity and in turn, worldwide socio-economic conditions. Here we present an unprecedentedly high resolution (250 × 250 m) global potential soil erosion model, using a combination of remote sensing, GIS modelling and census data. We challenge the previous annual soil erosion re…

  • Reply to the comment on “The new assessment of soil loss by water erosion in Europe” by Fiener & Auerswald

    Open AccessPanos Panagos, Pasquale Borrelli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2016References: 1

    The new assessment of soil loss by water erosion in Europe based on RUSLE2015 (Panagos et al., 2015a) was criticized in a comment by Fiener and Auerswald (2015). The objective of the pan-European assessment was not to challenge any regional- or national-scale modelling but to develop a harmonized assessment aiming to improve our knowledge and understanding of soil erosion by water across the\nEuropean Union and to accentuate the differences and s…

  • The new assessment of soil loss by water erosion in Europe

    Open AccessPanos Panagos, Pasquale Borrelli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2015Cited by: 32

    Soil erosion by water is one of the major threats to soils in the European Union, with a negative impact on ecosystem services, crop production, drinking water and carbon stocks. The European Commission's Soil Thematic Strategy has identified soil erosion as a relevant issue for the European Union, and has proposed an approach to monitor soil erosion. This paper presents the application of a modified version of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equ…
