A defining feature of the Anthropocene is the distortion of the biosphere phosphorus (P)
cycle. A relatively sudden acceleration of input fluxes without a concomitant increase in …

Soil phosphorus (P) directly impacts major sustainability outcomes, namely crop yields,
water quality, and carbon sequestration. Optimally managing P to improve sustainability …

Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring element that can accumulate in the soil through the
application of fertilisers containing cadmium and as a waste of industrial processes …

Abstract The topsoil Land Use and Cover Area frame Statistical survey (LUCAS) aims at
collecting harmonised data about the state of soil health over the extent of European Union …

Soil erosion is both a major driver and consequence of land degradation with significant on-
site and off-site costs which are critical to understand and quantify. One major cost of soil …

Zinc (Zn) is essential to sustain crop production and human health, while it can be toxic
when present in excess. In this manuscript, we applied a machine learning model on 21,682 …

Land degradation is a complex socio-environmental threat, which generally occurs as
multiple concurrent pathways that remain largely unexplored in Europe. Here we present an …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks are crucial for the development of
wild plants and crops. This paper examines the current SOC and TN stocks and their …

Human activities have rapidly increased the one-way flow in phosphorus cycle, leading to
concerns about resource depletion and eutrophication, making it necessary to …

International trade of food and feed is increasing, which may limit nutrient recycling in food
systems, to an unknown extent. We examined phosphorus (P) circularity in food systems of …
