Pasquale Borrelli,David A. Robinson,Larissa R. Fleischer,Emanuele Lugato,Cristiano Ballabio,Christine Alewell,Katrin Meusburger,Sirio Modugno,Brigitta Schütt,Vito Ferro,Vincenzo Bagarello,Kristof Van Oost,Luca Montanarella,Panos Panagos +13 more
TL;DR: An unprecedentedly high resolution global potential soil erosion model is presented, using a combination of remote sensing, GIS modelling and census data, that indicates a potential overall increase in global soil erosion driven by cropland expansion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The new assessment of soil loss by water erosion in Europe
Panos Panagos,Pasquale Borrelli,Jean Poesen,Cristiano Ballabio,Emanuele Lugato,Katrin Meusburger,Luca Montanarella,Christine Alewell +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a modified version of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model was used to estimate soil loss in Europe for the reference year 2010, within which the input factors (Rainfall erosivity, Soil erodibility, Cover-Management, Topography, Support practices) were modelled with the most recently available pan-European datasets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the soil erosion cover-management factor at the European scale
Panos Panagos,Pasquale Borrelli,Katrin Meusburger,Christine Alewell,Emanuele Lugato,Luca Montanarella +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology for estimating the C-factor in the European Union (EU), using pan-European datasets (such as CORINE Land Cover), biophysical attributes derived from remote sensing, and statistical data on agricultural crops and practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land use and climate change impacts on global soil erosion by water (2015-2070).
Pasquale Borrelli,Pasquale Borrelli,David A. Robinson,Panos Panagos,Emanuele Lugato,Jae E. Yang,Christine Alewell,David Wuepper,Luca Montanarella,Cristiano Ballabio +9 more
TL;DR: The latest projections of climate and land use change are used to assess potential global soil erosion rates by water to address policy questions and provide insight into the potential mitigating effects attributable to conservation agriculture and the need for more effective policy instruments for soil protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rainfall Erosivity in Europe
Panos Panagos,Cristiano Ballabio,Pasquale Borrelli,Katrin Meusburger,Andreas Klik,Svetla Rousseva,Melita Perčec Tadić,Silas Michaelides,Michaela Hrabalíková,Preben Olsen,Juha Aalto,Mónika Lakatos,Anna Rymszewicz,Alexandru Dumitrescu,Santiago Beguería,Christine Alewell +15 more
TL;DR: The erosivity density (erosivity normalised to annual precipitation amounts) was the highest in Mediterranean regions which implies high risk for erosive events and floods, and Gaussian Process Regression has been used to interpolate the R-factor station values to a European rainfall erOSivity map at 1 km resolution.
