By using measured Rainfall Erosivity Density (RED) for 3,625 raingauges worldwide and applying kriging methodologies, we could identify the damaging hydrological hazard-prone areas that exceed warning and alert thresholds (1.5 and 3.0 hm-2 h-1 yr-1, respectively). In this study, we analysed the spatial pattern of hydrological hazard associated with rainfall erosivity with a global-scale visualisation. The results indicated that about 31% and 19% of the world\u2019s land area have a greater than 50% probability of exceeding the warning and alert thresholds.

The P budget and the P inputs\/outputs are available at NUTS2 (Regional scale) and country scale. In addition, we estimate the P displacement and losses due to water erosion at catchment scale and aggregate them at sea outlet.

Blue carbon is an important tool in reducing the effects of climate change.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Read more:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flinks.sciencesocieties.org%2Fc%2F7%2FeyJhaSI6MTcxMTU5MzQsImUiOiJzaWdiZXJ0Lmh1YmVyQHVtd2VsdGJ1bmRlc2FtdC5hdCIsInJpIjoiY29udGFjdC03YWVhZTkzMjE4NmVlMTExOWYwYzAwMTMyMTBlMzA4Yy00M2E4ZDA2MjQwZWY0YTRlYjUzNDFhZDY1ZDRkNGM1NyIsInJxIjoiMDItYjIyMjk5LTJjMDQ3MjY5ZDYyNDRlM2FhYmFlMTUwNjM0ODc0ZDA3IiwicGgiOm51bGwsIm0iOmZhbHNlLCJ1aSI6IjIyIiwidW4iOiIiLCJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9zb2lsc21hdHRlci53b3JkcHJlc3MuY29tLzIwMjIvMTAvMDEvd2hhdC1pcy1ibHVlLWNhcmJvbi1hbmQtd2h5LWlzLWl0LWltcG9ydGFudC8_X2NsZGVlPW9EdmR4RS05NjZ0UEMzZlhTYlRmZmlsMXM2a2p6S1otSnVXQk5RQkZXRmtDemdyS3Q1VnNqT1Rra09OOEtmRTk5bkF6M2Z6WHhhSFZNd0R1R2Zvczl3JnJlY2lwaWVudGlkPWNvbnRhY3QtN2FlYWU5MzIxODZlZTExMTlmMGMwMDEzMjEwZTMwOGMtNDNhOGQwNjI0MGVmNGE0ZWI1MzQxYWQ2NWQ0ZDRjNTcmZXNpZD1kYmYxMjNmNi01MzU1LWVkMTEtYmJhMy0wMDBkM2EzMjMxOGIifQ%2FMle3k7hxk6n-cYD1Ppn4mw&amp;data=05%7C01%7Csigbert.huber%40umweltbundesamt.at%7C85fbda8331e7406cd6b908dab77ab8d2%7C344fca12964d42f09c3bff24b97e2be7%7C0%7C0%7C638024035080547983%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=vqTIl7TmpsZqHzjvtiEJbyBZo6Dz7dDxM1XyBISCJ8w%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><span style=\"color: #976036;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><u>What is blue carbon, and why is it important?<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">[From ASA, CSSA, SSSA Science Policy Report, October 26, 2022]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large;\">Conferences, Meetings and Workshops<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><i>Due to the Corona pandemic and ensuing travel restrictions many of the events planned for 2020 and 2021 had to be cancelled or postponed.

This booklet aims to review the role of soil fertility in producing sufficient, safe, and more nourishing food for healthier plants, animals, and people. It also offers recommendations for solutions that can provide a more nutritious agrifood system for enhancing human health and wellbeing while protecting the environment. Soil fertility and nutrition involve processes at scales ranging from molecules to the entire planet. Our interventions in these processes may exacerbate the global challenges we face but can also be modified to solve them. This booklet contributes to understanding processes related to soil fertility from the perspectives of food production and food security, and the environmental and climate change impacts associated with fertilizer misuse and overuse. The booklet also outlines the main areas of opportunity and the way forward to solve the nutrient imbalance prevailing in our current agrifood systems.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Download:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/3\/cc0900en\/cc0900en.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #976036;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><u>https:\/\/www.fao.org\/3\/cc0900en\/cc0900en.pdf<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4060\/cc0900en\"><span style=\"color: #976036;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><u>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4060\/cc0900en<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Improving soil health<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Edited by Prof. William R.

Since then, considerable progress has been made on diagnosis and management of micronutrient nutrition problems in crops. However, now there is growing R&amp;D evidence that micronutrient malnutrition in humans could be addressed through enriching staple food grains with micronutrients.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This book presents the latest R&amp;D information on micronutrient problems in crop plants\/cropping systems and their corrective measures. The current status, the constraints, and economic benefits of using micronutrient fertilizers for optimizing crop productivity and soil resource sustainability are discussed along with estimating future potential requirement of micronutrient fertilizers to optimize crop productivity, produce quality, and soil resource sustainability.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Read more:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Micronutrient-Fertilizer-Use-in-Pakistan-Historical-Perspective-and-4R\/Rashid-Zia-Ahmad\/p\/book\/9781032307626\"><span style=\"color: #976036;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><u>https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Micronutrient-Fertilizer-Use-in-Pakistan-Historical-Perspective-and-4R\/Rashid-Zia-Ahmad\/p\/book\/9781032307626<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large;\">Job offers<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you are interested in working in soil sciences and related fields of expertise, please see current job offers at:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/jobs\/\"><span style=\"color: #976036;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><u>https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/jobs\/<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-large;\">Advertisements<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">financially supported<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"606\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/alert\/iuss-alerts-2021-2022\/iuss-alert-208\/attachment\/we-measure-the-soil\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WE-MEASURE-THE-SOIL.png\" data-orig-size=\"752,293\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WE MEASURE THE SOIL\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WE-MEASURE-THE-SOIL.png\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WE-MEASURE-THE-SOIL-300x117.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WE-MEASURE-THE-SOIL-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WE-MEASURE-THE-SOIL-513x200.png 513w, https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WE-MEASURE-THE-SOIL-512x200.png 512w, https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WE-MEASURE-THE-SOIL.png 752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>WE MEASURE THE SOIL<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Innovative &amp; customized environmental technology.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #384452;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">You want to measure the pressure, moisture or gas content of your soil?
