Abstract. In this forum paper we discuss how soil scientists can help to reach the recently adopted UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in most effective manner. Soil science, as a land-related discipline, has important links several of SDGs, which are demonstrated through functions soils and ecosystem services that linked those (see graphical abstract Supplement). We explore rise challenge both internally, terms our procedures practices, externally, relations with colleague other...
In the effort to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related food, health, water, and climate, an increase in pressure on land is highly likely. To avoid further degradation promote restoration, multifunctional use of needed within boundaries soil-water system. addition, awareness-raising, a change stakeholders’ attitudes, economics are essential. The attainment balance between economy, society, biosphere calls for holistic approach. this paper, we introduce four concepts that...
Land-management options for greenhouse gas removal (GGR) include afforestation or reforestation (AR), wetland restoration, soil carbon sequestration (SCS), biochar, terrestrial enhanced weathering (TEW), and bioenergy with capture storage (BECCS). We assess the opportunities risks associated these through lens of their potential impacts on ecosystem services (Nature's Contributions to People; NCPs) United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). find that all land-based GGR contribute...
In many estuarine areas around the world, safety of human societies depends on functioning embankments (dikes) that provide protection against river floods and storm tides. Vegetation land-side slopes protects these from erosion by heavy rains or overtopping waves. We carried out a field experiment to investigate effect plant species diversity soil loss through simulated dike. The included four treatments (1, 2, 4, 8 species). third year experiment, we measured net annual measuring losses...
Soil and water losses due to agricultural mismanagement are high non-sustainable in many orchards. An experiment was set up with rainfall simulation at 78 mm h–1 over 1 hour on 20 paired plots of 2 m2 (bare straw covered) new persimmon plantations Eastern Spain. Effects cover the control soil were assessed. addition 60% (75 g m–2) resulted delayed ponding runoff generation consequently reduced from 13% total rainfall. The raindrop impact thus sediment detachment 1014 47 plot–1 h–1. erosion...
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be grouped into three domains, the environmental domain, social domain and economic domain. These different layers influence each other; hence sustainable progress in layer cannot achieved without good two other layers. To achieve SDGs, transitions current system are needed actions should taken that support contribute to short term needs long (global) goals. Therefore, it is necessary have knowledge of understand phases transition. In this paper...
Most of the Earth's Ecosystem Services (ESs) have experienced a decreasing trend in last few decades, primarily due to increasing human dominance natural environment. Identification and categorization factors that affect provision ESs from global local scales are challenging. This study makes an effort identify key driving examine their effects on different Sundarbans region, India. We carry out analysis following five successive steps: (1) quantifying biophysical economic values using three...
Nature-based solutions play an essential role in enhancing urban soil hydrology by improving water retention properties, reducing surface runoff, and infiltration. This bibliometric analysis study reviewed the literature identified current trends research related to nature-based hydrology. The has potential highlight areas future hot topics this specific field. used Scopus database collect published articles from 1973 2023. keywords (“trees” OR “vegetation” “green infrastructure” “blue green...
Abstract Understanding the impacts of land‐use changes on hydrology at watershed scale can facilitate development sustainable water resource strategies. This paper investigates hydrological effects change in Zanjanrood basin, Iran. The balance was simulated using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (AVSWAT2000). Model calibration uncertainty analysis were performed with sequential fitting (SUFI‐2). Simulation results from January 1998 to December 2002 used for parameter calibration, then model...
ABSTRACT Connectivity relates to the coupling of landforms (e.g. hillslopes and channels) transfer water sediment between them. The degree which parts a catchment are connected depends largely on morphological complexity catchment's landscape. Landscapes can have very different distinct morphologies, such as terraces, V‐shaped valleys or broad floodplains. objective this study is better understand quantify relation landscape connectivity. We hypothesize that connectivity decreases with...
Abstract Changes in floodplain sediment dynamics have profound effects on riverine habitats and riparian biodiversity. Depopulation due to socio‐economic changes the Dragonja catchment (91 km 2 ) southwestern Slovenia resulted abandonment of agricultural fields, followed by natural reforestation since 1945. This profoundly changed water supply streams, as well deposition. paper presents a reconstruction development these land use during last 60 years. The is based dating sediments using 137...
