Just published in #NatureScientificData a gully (incisional #soil #erosion) feature dataset from LUCAS survey observations covering the EU. We give an accompanying first estimation of the probability of their occurrence and outline future advances through data and models

🆕The first Gully erosion occurrence probability map of the 🇪🇺 just published📜. It is using 400,000 LUCAS earth observations. 0.8% of all monitored locations show gully occurrence. #SoilHealth #missionSoil https://t.co/IrmO41otWS

This gives scientists a unique opportunity to learn how their research fits into soil health monitoring in the European Union and policymaking in general.

With #EGU25 fast approaching in Vienna, we warmly invite attendees to join our session (SSS2.2)“Soil Erosion, Land Degradation and Conservation“, orals on Wednesday 30 April. Full session here: https://t.co/7Z5SWg5in7

[Francis Matthews @FMgeomorph]

This year we have multiple scientific presentation formats and a presentation and discussion with policymakers from DG ENV of the European Commission on the Soil Monitoring Law and the role of science in policy implementation and monitoring.

[Pasquale Borrelli @P_Borrelli_]

We’re organizing the most extensive community-based global #soilerosion mapping initiative ever using Google Earth imagery (or similar). Want to be part of it?

Join us by sending an email to [email protected] with your full name, affiliation, & country.

Deadline: May 31

🇪🇺European farmlands 🌱🌾are losing soil organic carbon.@EU_ScienceHub study @NatureComms introduces a new risk index to identify areas vulnerable to carbon loss. 🔴 Up to 44% of EU+UK agricultural land is at risk . 🟢 But 50 million ha could absorb more https://t.co/etPeU8RkWN
