Great article from @MartinhoSantosM
evidencing impacts happening under the "conservation umbrella".

Q1 -If we suggest to reduce tillage as a sustainable management practice in agricultural lands, why is the forest sector going this way? (1/3)

Q2 - If we are talking about forest land, why are we constructing terraces in areas that do not need?

Q3 - Terraces are very good and recognized conservation practices, but are these "bulldozer terraces" even near this concept? (3/3)

Hello #soilers
Here is a gentle reminder of our session in #egu24. #ECS dont forget to apply until the 1st dec. for the travel waiver! An excellent opportunity to showcase your results and get involved in @euso_soil group on #erosion.

Europe has so many different soils💛🧡🖤❤️🤍💙🤎

Since 2009 @EU_ScienceHub soil team has been devoted to map European soils in all their aspects

#DYK Portugal already has a postfire #soil #erosion risk map?
#FEMME researchers developed a tool for an informed postfire decision making, available for download in #ESDAC.

-4 days to 🇪🇺 Soil Law #RoadToSoilLaw.
@EU_ScienceHub estimate the onsite costs of soil erosion at 1.25 Billion Euros💸per year in 🇪🇺. Soil erosion negatively affects the yield 🌱🌽of agricultural areas reducing fertility. This is part of 50 Billion cost. https://t.co/BEIsAERhq1

#DYK what choices do you have for #postfire #soil #erosion mitigation?

A #global #review & #modelling study showed that #mulching is the most efficient technique against soil erosion after fire.

-2 days to 🇪🇺 Soil Law #RoadToSoilLaw. All started with European Soil Bureau in 1994, European Soil Database in 2001,Soil Strategy 2006, European Soil Data Centre in 2007, EUSO in 2020. History is important -30 years of 🔝research 🔝data 🔝policy support https://t.co/qR4qOuZ4MS

#DYK what happens to #soils after #wildfires?

Among others #postfire impacts affect #soilhealth, #waterquality, #biodiversity and can drive #flashfloods, #debrisflows, & #landslides

This is a major provision of #knowledge to #policy and #citizens. I am very proud of our #EUSO team accomplishment.

8 countries (🇩🇪🇪🇸🇫🇷🇮🇹🇵🇱🇳🇱🇮🇪) produce ca. 80% of the 1.4 billion manure in 🇪🇺🇬🇧. > 90% is directly re-applied to soils as organic fertiliser in farms 🌱🌽🌾. @EU_ScienceHub research on best & harmful practices of manure in biodiversity. https://t.co/lkBM2rscId

Very important knowledge consolidation lead by @a_gironagarcia on #postfire management costs. Take a look at this🧵, use and abuse these💵cost values. #wildfires

[Panos Panagos @PanosPanagos33]

Soil area the size of Berlin 🇩🇪 lost each year due to water erosion in the EU. Importance of soil conservation. Proud for our second 1,000 citations publication 📰in #EUSO group. Citations do not count but this has an impact in 🇪🇺 policies & literature. https://t.co/ddXxIm7dvG

So after several weeks I'll, I've managed to pull this one through. How many woman play videogames? Are they thriving the same way as men? What bias do we have around female gamers? 🎮
