Project website: https://promisces.eu/  The dataset contains information on the environmental concentrations of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) collected as part of the PROMISCES project's Case Study #2,\u00a0Subtask 2.2.4 \u2013 Large catchment scale monitoring in different environmental compartments. It also includes data gathered from various external sources.  Abstract  PFASs are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in various household and industrial applications (Gl\u00fcge et al., 2020). Due to their high chemical stability, PFASs are resistant to natural degradation processes, leading to their accumulation in different environmental matrices and ultimately posing potential health risks to humans (Sunderland et al., 2019). PROMISCES CS#2 focused on understading the fate and transport of PFASs in the upper Danube catchment, covering the Danube from its source to the city of Budapest. Over approximately 1.5 years, a comprehensive monitoring campaign was conducted in this study area, across multiple environmental compartments:\u00a0    Atmopsheric Deposition:\u00a0  River water: including Danube mainstream and its tributaries.  Groundwater: including bank-filtered water from the Danube, and groundwater directly influenced by the landfills  Landfill leachate  Surface Runoff  Wastewater: Influent and effluent from municipal waterwater treatment plants (WWTPs) and direct industrial dischargers   Particularly, the case study placed a special focus on the Danube and its bank filtration sites at two major cities in the Upper Danube, Vienna and Budapest.  The dataset primarily consists results from targeted analysis of 32 individual PFAS substances. In addition, available data for these 32 PFASs in the study area were collected from various online resources or provided directly by project partners. For confidentiality reasons, some external data have been anonymized on names and locations.\u00a0  Partial of this dataset have already contributed to a 2023 publication (Liu et al.), which was based on preliminary data before the completion of the full monitoring campaign and external data collection.  The full dataset was analysed and discussed in the publication Liu et al.

Cet article pr\u00e9sente les r\u00e9sultats d'une \u00e9valuation ascendante visant \u00e0 quantifier le potentiel technique des mesures d'att\u00e9nuation pour l'agriculture chinoise \u00e0 l'aide d'une m\u00e9ta-analyse de donn\u00e9es provenant de 240 publications pour les terres cultiv\u00e9es, 67 publications pour les prairies et 139 publications pour le b\u00e9tail, et fournit le sc\u00e9nario de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence pour l'analyse des co\u00fbts des mesures d'att\u00e9nuation identifi\u00e9es. Les options de gestion pr\u00e9sentant le plus grand potentiel d'att\u00e9nuation pour le riz ou les syst\u00e8mes de culture \u00e0 base de riz sont le travail de conservation, l'irrigation contr\u00f4l\u00e9e\u00a0; le remplacement de l'ur\u00e9e par du sulfate d'ammonium, l'application d'inhibiteurs d'azote (N), l'application d'engrais \u00e0 teneur r\u00e9duite en azote, la culture int\u00e9gr\u00e9e du riz, du poisson et du canard et l'application de biochar. Une r\u00e9duction de 15\u00a0% de l'application moyenne actuelle d'engrais azot\u00e9s synth\u00e9tiques pour le riz en Chine, soit 231 kg N ha\u22121, entra\u00eenerait une diminution de 12\u00a0% des \u00e9missions directes d'oxyde nitreux (N2O) dans le sol. L'application combin\u00e9e d'engrais chimiques et organiques, le travail de conservation, l'application de biochar et l'application r\u00e9duite d'azote sont des mesures possibles qui peuvent r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions globales de GES des syst\u00e8mes de culture en montagne. Les apports d'engrais conventionnels pour les l\u00e9gumes de serre repr\u00e9sentent plus de 2 \u00e0 8 fois la demande optimale en nutriments des cultures. Une r\u00e9duction de 20 \u00e0 40\u00a0% de l'application d'engrais azot\u00e9s sur les cultures mara\u00eech\u00e8res peut r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions de N2O de 32 \u00e0 121\u00a0%, sans avoir d'impact n\u00e9gatif sur le rendement. L'une des mesures d'att\u00e9nuation les plus importantes pour les prairies agricoles pourrait \u00eatre la conversion de terres cultiv\u00e9es \u00e0 faible rendement, en particulier sur les pentes, en terres arbustives ou en prairies, ce qui est \u00e9galement une option prometteuse pour r\u00e9duire l'\u00e9rosion des sols. En outre, l'exclusion du p\u00e2turage et la r\u00e9duction de l'intensit\u00e9 du p\u00e2turage peuvent augmenter la s\u00e9questration du COS et r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions globales tout en am\u00e9liorant les prairies largement d\u00e9grad\u00e9es. Pour la production animale, o\u00f9 le fourrage de mauvaise qualit\u00e9 est couramment nourri, l'am\u00e9lioration de la gestion des p\u00e2turages et de la qualit\u00e9 de l'alimentation peut r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions de m\u00e9thane (CH4) de 11\u00a0% et 5\u00a0% en moyenne.

Changes in plow layer thickness and soil organic carbon content of rice paddies were analyzed using data obtained in a county-level survey of soil fertility conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Guichi County, Anhui Province, China. Both soil thickness and organic carbon content of plow layer showed skewed normal distributions, with their averages of 14.58\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.92\u00a0cm, and 16.45\u00a0\u00b1\u00a06.02\u00a0g/kg, respectively. The irrigation method was found to have significant influences on both plow layer thickness and soil organic carbon content, as the plow layer thickness and soil organic carbon content had an inverse response to the irrigation intensity derived from different irrigation methods. The land-level performance of irrigation/drainage infrastructure and the irrigation water sources were detected to have significant effect on plow layer thickness, but little influence on soil organic carbon content. While the capacity of irrigation/drainage infrastructure had a remarkable effect on soil organic carbon content but little impact on plow layer thickness. However, the irrigation condition for surveyed fields was detected to have little effect on both plow layer thickness and soil organic carbon content. These results indicated that irrigation management should keep the balance between surface erosion on plow layer thickness and soil organic carbon accumulation. Hence, developing new technique for good irrigation infrastructure and water management in future will help soil organic carbon accumulation as well as improve the soil for enhanced crop growth in rice agriculture.", "keywords": ["330", "QH301 Biology", "01 natural sciences", "QH301", "water management", "land-use", "sequential reduction processes", "P losses", "fields", "SDG 15 - Life on Land", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "2.

Impacts can be determined by assessing soil hydraulic properties and crop characteristics. In this study, three tillage practices were investigated with respect to vertical soil water distribution and development of soybean. A specific focus was set on determining evaporation and transpiration as fractions of evapotranspiration to obtain additional information on water availability and crop water use. The agricultural practices included conventional tillage, reduced tillage (no plow), and no-tillage. The study site was a long-term field experiment under rainfed conditions. The investigations covered a vegetation period of soybean. The measurements comprised weather and soil water monitoring using sensors and manual monitoring of crop development. Evapotranspiration and its components were determined using scintillometer measurements and an isotope-based water balance technique. In the researched vegetation period with limited water availability, the conservative tillage practices showed better water storage, water use, and crop yields compared to the conventional practice. The weekly evaporation and transpiration rates progressed according to the respective canopy development. Thus, delayed plant development of the no-till practice led to extended green cover and productive water use during the late season, where a large part of the precipitation has fallen. The tillage-induced differences of soil hydraulic properties had a substantial impact on soil water distribution, but a comparatively small impact on the soil surface wetness and thus directly on the evaporation rate. The tillage-induced impacts on soil cover by plant residues, however, showed the substantial reduction effect of plant residue cover on evaporation losses. Hence, assessment of evaporation and transpiration rates contributes to the understanding of differences in water productivity and promotes the efficient use of the available water resources.", "keywords": ["2.

Our approach has been for agricultural and water management applications at the regional and local scale. Despite being a rather small area, we were able to observe different signal behaviours corresponding to major land cover classes in Mediterranean areas i.e.: dryland and irrigated crops, forests and natural vegetation (grass-shrubs). The area also allowed assessing the impact of topography. The first result of the study is that the results are very dependent on the normalizations used to make the data comparable, thus their impact must be carefully analysed. In this study, we applied two different normalisation methods (called ZV35 and ZV) and different moving average windows (1, 10 and 30days) in order to enhance seasonal effects. Using no smoothing window, ASCAT is the soil moisture product that correlates best with the LSM over all cover classes, whatever the method. Using smoothing window, AMSR-E tends to outperform other soil moisture products with the ZV method. The ZV35 method is not able to identify a small heavily irrigated area. The reason for these different results is that ZV35, tends to eliminate the monthly scale soil moisture memory and therefore becomes more sensitive to precipitation and less sensitive to the monthly evolution of superficial soil moisture. The comparison shows in general good agreement for all soil moisture products with the LSM on the temporal series simulated over flat, non irrigated areas which are not close to the sea. SMOS has difficulties in areas close to the sea and in areas with steep relief and the current version of the L2 Operational Algorithm (V5.51) depicts few values in forested areas. ASCAT, in its turn, shows some limitations over agricultural and natural vegetation where it shows an increase of soil moisture from June to October probably due to increase of penetration depth in dry soil moisture conditions. AMSR-E LPRM shows a clear vegetation cycle over all the land cover classes. From all the remote sensing products, SMOS is the only one able to see irrigation and the only that does not show clear vegetation or roughness effects. In this study, we were able to assess the impact of higher resolution soil moisture products to map irrigated areas.", "keywords": ["2.

Tree plantations are advocated as a C sink, however, little is known about rates of C turnover and sequestration into soil organic matter under subtropical and tropical tree plantations. We studied changes in SOC in a chronosequence of hoop pine (Araucaria cwunninghamii) plantations established on former rainforest sites in seasonally dry subtropical Australia. SOC, delta C-13, and light fraction organic C (LF C < 1.6 g cm(-3)) Were determined in plantations, secondary rainforest and pasture. We calculated loss of rainforest SOC after clearing for pasture using an isotope mixing model, and used the decay rate of rainforest-derived C to predict input of hoop pine-derived C into the soil. Total SOC stocks to 100 cm depth were significantly (P < 0.01) higher under rainforest (241 t ha(-1)) and pasture (254 t ha(-1)) compared to hoop pine (176-211 t ha(-1)). We calculated that SOC derived from hoop pine inputs ranged from 32% (25 year plantation) to 61% (63 year plantation) of total SOC in the 0-30 cm soil layer, but below 30 cm all C originated from rainforest. These results were compared to simulations made by the Century soil organic matter model. The Century model Simulations showed that lower C stocks under hoop pine plantations were due to reduced C inputs to the slow turnover C pool, such that this pool only recovers to within 45% of the original rainforest C pool after 63 years. This may indicate differences in soil C stabilization mechanisms under hoop pine plantations compared with rainforest and pasture. These results demonstrate that subtropical hoop pine plantations do not rapidly sequester SOC into long-term storage pools, and that alternative plantation systems may need to be investigated to achieve greater soil C sequestration.

Treated synthetic greywaters by different operational design set-ups of floating treatment wetland systems were recycled for watering chillies in both locations. Effluents of each individual group of treatment set-up systems were labelled to feed sets of three replicates of chilli plants in both locations.

Chilli plants grew in both locations with different growth patterns in each development stage. First blooming and high counts of flowers were observed in the laboratory. Higher fruit production was noted for greenhouse plants: 2266 chilli fruits with a total weight of 16.824 kg with an expected market value of GBP 176.22 compared to 858 chilli fruits from the laboratory with a weight of 3.869 kg and an estimated price of GBP 17.61.

These strategies may induce synergistic effects by simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and/or nitrogen (N) leaching. In contrast, other SMS may stimulate emissions of GHG such as nitrous oxide (N2O) or methane (CH4), offsetting the climate change mitigation gained via SOC sequestration. Despite the importance of understanding trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs and synergies for selecting sustainable SMS for European agriculture, knowledge on these effects remains limited. This review synthesizes existing knowledge, identifies knowledge gaps and provides research recommendations on trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs and synergies between SOC sequestration or SOC accrual, non\uffe2\uff80\uff90CO2 GHG emissions and N leaching related to selected SMS. We investigated 87 peer\uffe2\uff80\uff90reviewed articles that address SMS and categorized them under tillage management, cropping systems, water management and fertilization and organic matter (OM) inputs. SMS, such as conservation tillage, adapted crop rotations, adapted water management, OM inputs by cover crops (CC), organic amendments (OA) and biochar, contribute to increase SOC stocks and reduce N leaching. Adoption of leguminous CC or specific cropping systems and adapted water management tend to create trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs by stimulating N2O emissions, while specific cropping systems or application of biochar can mitigate N2O emissions. The effect of crop residues on N2O emissions depends strongly on their C/N ratio. Organic agriculture and agroforestry clearly mitigate CH4 emissions but the impact of other SMS requires additional study. More experimental research is needed to study the impact of both the pedoclimatic conditions and the long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term dynamics of trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs and synergies. Researchers should simultaneously assess the impact of (multiple) agricultural SMS on SOC stocks, GHG emissions and N leaching.

Under the same N rate, incorporating CMV as GM (the treatments of M and NM) mitigated N2O emission during the growing periods of rice plant, reduced the NO3- content and activities of nitrate and nitrite reductase as well as the population of nitrifying bacteria in top soil at maturity stage of rice plant versus FN pots. The global warming potential (GWP) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) of N2O from monocropped rice field was ranked as M<NM<FN.

The non-flooding water-saving irrigation increased soil microbial activity and mineralization of SOC, which broke down more soil organic nutrients into soluble proportion and is beneficial for soil fertility, but might lead to more CO2 emission and degradation in carbon sequestration than FI paddies.", "keywords": ["soil carbon sequestration", "water management", "Plant culture", "0401 agriculture", " forestry", " and fisheries", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "drying-wetting cycle", "precipitation", "soil respiration", "SB1-1110"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Wei Qi, Chen Suyan, Liao Qi, Yang Shihong, Xu JunZeng, Ma Yan, Liao Linxian,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.17221/817/2016-pse"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Plant%2C%20Soil%20and%20Environment", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.17221/817/2016-pse", "name": "item", "description": "10.17221/817/2016-pse", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.17221/817/2016-pse"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2017-03-31T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.3390/ijgi11040257", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"license": "Open Access", "updated": "2026-05-30T16:21:51Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2022-04-18", "title": "Assessment of Groundwater Potential Zones Using GIS and Fuzzy AHP Techniques\u2014A Case Study of the Titel Municipality (Northern Serbia)", "description": "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><article><p>Groundwater is one of the most important natural resources for reliable and sustainable water supplies in the world.

Impacts can be determined by assessing soil hydraulic properties and crop characteristics. In this study, three tillage practices were investigated with respect to vertical soil water distribution and development of soybean. A specific focus was set on determining evaporation and transpiration as fractions of evapotranspiration to obtain additional information on water availability and crop water use. The agricultural practices included conventional tillage, reduced tillage (no plow), and no-tillage. The study site was a long-term field experiment under rainfed conditions. The investigations covered a vegetation period of soybean. The measurements comprised weather and soil water monitoring using sensors and manual monitoring of crop development. Evapotranspiration and its components were determined using scintillometer measurements and an isotope-based water balance technique. In the researched vegetation period with limited water availability, the conservative tillage practices showed better water storage, water use, and crop yields compared to the conventional practice. The weekly evaporation and transpiration rates progressed according to the respective canopy development. Thus, delayed plant development of the no-till practice led to extended green cover and productive water use during the late season, where a large part of the precipitation has fallen. The tillage-induced differences of soil hydraulic properties had a substantial impact on soil water distribution, but a comparatively small impact on the soil surface wetness and thus directly on the evaporation rate. The tillage-induced impacts on soil cover by plant residues, however, showed the substantial reduction effect of plant residue cover on evaporation losses. Hence, assessment of evaporation and transpiration rates contributes to the understanding of differences in water productivity and promotes the efficient use of the available water resources.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

This work presents an IoT-based monitoring system for obtaining soil moisture, soil electrical conductivity, soil temperature and meteorological data useful in irrigation management and pest control. The proposed system was implemented and evaluated for olive parcels located both at coastal and inland areas of the eastern part of Crete; these areas face severe issues with water availability and saltwater intrusion (coastal region). The system includes the monitoring of soil moisture and atmospheric sensors, with the aim of providing information to farmers for decision-making and at the future implementation of an automated irrigation system, optimizing the use of water resources. Data acquisition was performed through smart sensors connected to a microcontroller. Data were received at a portal and made available on the cloud, being monitored in real-time through an open-source IoT platform. An e-mail alert was sent to the farmers when soil moisture was lower than a threshold value specific to the soil type or when climatic conditions favored the development of the olive fruit fly. One of the main advantages of the proposed decision-making system is a low-cost IoT solution, as it is based on open-source software and the hardware on edge devices consists of widespread economic modules.

They can help map the temporal and spatial variability of exposure, exposure pathways and exposure routes, and support risk assessment for water bodies where monitoring is lacking. They can be used to identify sources and pathways responsible for current exposures and to assess the impact of potential future developments of persistent, mobile, and toxic chemicals (PMT) exposures in surface water and groundwater. Such scenario assessment may include changes in PMT use, effects of pollution control measures, accidental spills or climate change.  The scope of this document, produced as part of the H2020 PROMISCES project, is to provide guidance for applications of models with a specific focus on model trains for the assessment of exposure to PMTs as part of the predictive risk assessment related to surface and groundwater. This document explains the basic concepts of specific models and how best to use them in modeltrains in the framework of a tiered approach. The intention is to inform users and interested stakeholders about what needs to be considered when using different methods, what is the best use of specific models, what are the best combinations in model trains and what are their current limitations.  The guidance document presents (i) \u201cscreening level\u201d models for the assessment of regional exposure of groundwater from soil pollution and for the assessment of general exposure of air, soil and water at local, regional or global scales, (ii) spatial and temporal explicit approaches for the identification of pollution plumes in the soil-groundwater continuum and (iii) model train applications for the catchment \u2013 river \u2013 river bank filtration \u2013 drinking water continuum.  Exposure of surface water and groundwater to PMT depends on the use patterns and the environmental fate of the chemicals. Emission, fate and transport models incorporate driving factors into documented algorithms. The extent to which a substance persists in surface water can, for instance, be calculated with the \u201cSimpleBox - Aquatic Persistence Dashboard\u201d, based on its physical-chemical characteristics. The presented approach for deriving generic risk limits for soils shows that, depending on regional variations in geo(hydro)logical conditions, the high mobility of some PFAS could lead to strict requirements for materials applied on soil.  For the soil-groundwater continuum, a novel model train is presented which accounts for the main physical and chemical processes controlling the fate and transport of PFAS. For sorption and degradation reactions, several formalisms can be used, allowing one to select the most appropriate according to the PFAS molecular properties and the characteristics of the simulateddomain. The results issued from these modelling applications indicate the key role of correctly identifying the main physical, chemical and biological processes controlling fate and transport of PFAS in the studied domain to build a robust conceptual model. To increase the robustness of the model, a thorough model calibration must be performed, preferably using time seriesmeasurements of the PFAS concentration in the pore solution at different locations of the contaminated site.  The results confirm the key role of the unsaturated zone in the transfer and long-term migration of PFAS. Nonlinearity and nonideality of sorption reactions were expected for a broad range of PFAS, suggesting using more complex numerical formalism than linear isotherms. Considering the key role of capillary fringe displacement on PFAS transport in the unsaturated zone, themodel train seems to be very efficient in performing PFAS simulations, as it can explicitly describe water flow and solute transport at the interface between the unsaturated and saturated zones, avoiding the main pitfall encountered in other numerical approaches.  The combination of stand-alone models in model trains expands the scope that can be covered in the context of a catchment \u2013 river \u2013 riverbank filtration \u2013 drinking water continuum for exposure assessment of surface waters and bank filtered drinking water. Model trains can combine individual models either in a complementary way or in a sequence. A complementary combination may either compare models of different complexity to find out which level of complexity (and associated effort) is needed to answer which questions, or may compare different models with their different strengths and weaknesses in parallel to assess uncertainties and/or use models for scenario evaluation according to their specific capabilities. A sequential combination facilitates a broader application in terms of content and at different spatial resolutions. Clearly defined interfaces are essential for a successful implementation.  Examples of model trains for selected PFAS are presented for the catchment-river interaction in the urban context of the Berlin case and for the whole catchment \u2013 river \u2013 riverbank filtration \u2013 drinking water continuum on the scale of the Upper Danube Basin. The Berlin case demonstrates the application of the sequential model train by combining a city emission model with a city surface water fate and transport model to assess the resulting exposure to PFAS in the city surface waters. The Danube case demonstrates the application of a sequential model train for exposure assessment of bank filtered drinking water by combining large-scale catchment-scale emission models with different types of bank filtration fate and transport models for specific locations in the catchment. In addition, it also demonstrates complementary application by comparing emission models with different strengths and weaknesses for the assessment of multiple scenarios on the catchment scale and different levels of complexity for the fate and transport modelling of bank filtration. The model train has been successfully applied for 10 different PFAS-substances including the assessment of a large range of scenarios.  Current limitations for exposure assessment of PFAS at river basin scale require improvement in scientific understanding as well as additional efforts in administrative data collection and inventory development. Current results of the exposure assessment show the very high relevance of legacy pollution from use of fire-fighting foams or from old municipal landfills. On the administrative level, there is a strong need for improved identification and harmonized inventorying of contaminated sites at national and international (EU) level. The lack of robust, openly available information on production, import-export and therefore use volumes of PFAS at national and EU level is strongly hampering exposure assessment. A major effort is urgently needed to provide this information, as it is decisive for a sound environmental exposure assessment, not only for surface water and groundwater.  In regard to scientific advances, there is a need for more and better understanding of the extent of local groundwater pollution, particularly due to the application of fire-fighting foams or to the presence of municipal landfills. Further improvement of the scientific knowledge about the fate of PFAS in the environment, including their partitioning between different phases (air,water, solids) and the transformation of the so called \u201cprecursors\u201d into stable \u201cend-products\u201d like PFOA, PFOS and short-chain substances is needed to enlarge the number of PFAS that can be included into the exposure assessment. A reproducible and standardised analytical parameter for \u201ctotal PFAS\u201d or even \u201ctotal toxicity of PFAS\u201d would be needed to address all relevant PFAS in a combined way as it is a focus of Workpackage 1 of the H2020 PROMISCES project (Togola et al. 2024; Behnisch et al. 2024).", "keywords": ["Groundwater/chemistry", "Groundwater pollution", "emission modelling", "Surface water management", "Groundwater quality", "Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS)", "environmental transport modelling", "Surface water", "environmental fate modelling", "Groundwater endangering"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Zessner, Matthias, Baldwin, Dwight, del Val Alonso, Laura, Derx, Julia, Devau, Nicolas, Janssen, Gijs, Jou Claus, S\u00f2nia, Kittlaus, Steffen, Knoche, Franziska, Liu, Meiqi, Markus, Arjen, Valstar, Johan, Meesters, Joris, Meijers, Erwin, Obeid, Ali A.A., Oudega, Thomas James, Pathak, Devanshi, Sprenger, Christoph, van Gils, Jos, Wicke, Daniel, Wintersen, Arjen, Zhiteneva, Veronika, Groot, Hans,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14789120"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.14789120", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.14789120", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.14789120"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-02-28T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10261/394505", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-05-30T16:25:54Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2024-06-07", "title": "Trade\u2010offs and synergies of soil carbon sequestration: Addressing knowledge gaps related to soil management strategies", "description": "Abstract<p>Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in agricultural soils is an important tool for climate change mitigation within the EU soil strategy for 2030 and can be achieved via the adoption of soil management strategies (SMS). These strategies may induce synergistic effects by simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and/or nitrogen (N) leaching. In contrast, other SMS may stimulate emissions of GHG such as nitrous oxide (N2O) or methane (CH4), offsetting the climate change mitigation gained via SOC sequestration. Despite the importance of understanding trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs and synergies for selecting sustainable SMS for European agriculture, knowledge on these effects remains limited. This review synthesizes existing knowledge, identifies knowledge gaps and provides research recommendations on trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs and synergies between SOC sequestration or SOC accrual, non\uffe2\uff80\uff90CO2 GHG emissions and N leaching related to selected SMS. We investigated 87 peer\uffe2\uff80\uff90reviewed articles that address SMS and categorized them under tillage management, cropping systems, water management and fertilization and organic matter (OM) inputs. SMS, such as conservation tillage, adapted crop rotations, adapted water management, OM inputs by cover crops (CC), organic amendments (OA) and biochar, contribute to increase SOC stocks and reduce N leaching. Adoption of leguminous CC or specific cropping systems and adapted water management tend to create trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs by stimulating N2O emissions, while specific cropping systems or application of biochar can mitigate N2O emissions. The effect of crop residues on N2O emissions depends strongly on their C/N ratio. Organic agriculture and agroforestry clearly mitigate CH4 emissions but the impact of other SMS requires additional study. More experimental research is needed to study the impact of both the pedoclimatic conditions and the long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term dynamics of trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs and synergies. Researchers should simultaneously assess the impact of (multiple) agricultural SMS on SOC stocks, GHG emissions and N leaching.

It also includes data gathered from various external sources.  Abstract  PFASs are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in various household and industrial applications (Gl\u00fcge et al., 2020). Due to their high chemical stability, PFASs are resistant to natural degradation processes, leading to their accumulation in different environmental matrices and ultimately posing potential health risks to humans (Sunderland et al., 2019). PROMISCES CS#2 focused on understading the fate and transport of PFASs in the upper Danube catchment, covering the Danube from its source to the city of Budapest. Over approximately 1.5 years, a comprehensive monitoring campaign was conducted in this study area, across multiple environmental compartments:\u00a0    Atmopsheric Deposition:\u00a0  River water: including Danube mainstream and its tributaries.  Groundwater: including bank-filtered water from the Danube, and groundwater directly influenced by the landfills  Landfill leachate  Surface Runoff  Wastewater: Influent and effluent from municipal waterwater treatment plants (WWTPs) and direct industrial dischargers   Particularly, the case study placed a special focus on the Danube and its bank filtration sites at two major cities in the Upper Danube, Vienna and Budapest.  The dataset primarily consists results from targeted analysis of 32 individual PFAS substances. In addition, available data for these 32 PFASs in the study area were collected from various online resources or provided directly by project partners. For confidentiality reasons, some external data have been anonymized on names and locations.\u00a0  Partial of this dataset have already contributed to a 2023 publication (Liu et al.), which was based on preliminary data before the completion of the full monitoring campaign and external data collection.

Chilli plant biomass growth in different development stages and fruit productivity were evaluated and compared with each other for the impact of growth boundary conditions and water quality effects. Treated synthetic greywaters by different operational design set-ups of floating treatment wetland systems were recycled for watering chillies in both locations. Effluents of each individual group of treatment set-up systems were labelled to feed sets of three replicates of chilli plants in both locations. Results revealed that the treated synthetic greywater (SGW) complied with thresholds for irrigation water, except for high concentrations (HC) of phosphates, total suspended soils, and some trace elements, such as cadmium. Chilli plants grew in both locations with different growth patterns in each development stage. First blooming and high counts of flowers were observed in the laboratory. Higher fruit production was noted for greenhouse plants: 2266 chilli fruits with a total weight of 16.824 kg with an expected market value of GBP 176.22 compared to 858 chilli fruits from the laboratory with a weight of 3.869 kg and an estimated price of GBP 17.61. However, trace element concentrations were detected in chilli fruits with the ranking order of occurrence as: Mg &gt; Ca &gt; Na &gt; Fe &gt; Zn &gt; Al &gt; Mn &gt; Cu &gt; Cd &gt; Cr &gt; Ni &gt; B. The highest concentrations of accumulated Cd (3.82 mg/kg), Cu (0.56 mg/kg), and Na (0.56 mg/kg) were recorded in chilli fruits from the laboratory, while greater accumulations of Ca, Cd, Cu, Mn, and Ni with concentrations of 4.73, 1.30, 0.20, 0.21, and 0.24 mg/kg, respectively, were linked to fruits from the greenhouse. Trace elements in chilli plant soils followed the trend: Mg &gt; Fe &gt; Al &gt; Cr &gt; Mn &gt; Cd &gt; Cu &gt; B. The accumulated concentrations in either chilli fruits or the soil were above the maximum permissible thresholds, indicating the need for water quality improvements.</p></article>", "keywords": ["agricultural water management", "2.

La presente tesis doctoral revis\u00f3 algunos de los modelos hidrol\u00f3gicos y de cultivo m\u00e1s ampliamente adoptados y explor\u00f3 nuevas oportunidades para simular variaciones espaciales del agua a nivel de campo mediante la incorporaci\u00f3n del flujo lateral de escorrent\u00eda superficial y sub-superficial en las zonas de menor elevaci\u00f3n del campo. Desde este punto de vista, se evaluaron las variaciones espaciales de las brechas de rendimiento en trigo de secano, en C\u00f3rdoba, Espa\u00f1a, que son causadas por flujos laterales de los puntos altos a los bajos. Desde una perspectiva agron\u00f3mica, las entradas laterales del agua contribuyen a las variaciones de rendimiento en los sistemas de producci\u00f3n de trigo de secano como el que se ha estudiado en el \u00e1mbito de esta tesis. La contribuci\u00f3n neta de estos flujos a las variaciones espaciales de los rendimientos potenciales de secano se mostr\u00f3 relevante pero altamente irregular entre diferentes a\u00f1os. A pesar de la variabilidad interanual, t\u00edpica de las condiciones mediterr\u00e1neas, la existencia de dichos flujos hizo que los rendimientos de trigo simulados variaran un +16% desde las \u00e1reas m\u00e1s elevadas de un campo hacia abajo. El rendimiento medio observado oscil\u00f3 entre 1.3 y 5.4 Mg de rendimiento de grano (GY) ha\u22121. Las respuestas de rendimiento neto al flujo lateral, cuenca abajo, fueron en promedio 383 kg de rendimiento de grano (GY) ha\u22121, y la productividad marginal de agua de LIF alcanz\u00f3 24.6 (\u00b113.2) kg GY ha\u22121 mm\u22121 en a\u00f1os de m\u00e1xima capacidad de respuesta. Dichos a\u00f1os de m\u00e1xima capacidad de respuesta se asociaron con bajas precipitaciones durante las etapas vegetativas del cultivo en combinaci\u00f3n con flujos laterales en las etapas posteriores a la floraci\u00f3n. En condiciones de campo, estas diferencias solo fueron visibles en uno de los dos a\u00f1os experimentales. Las implicaciones econ\u00f3micas asociadas con m\u00faltiples escenarios de tasa de aplicaci\u00f3n variable de nitr\u00f3geno se exploraron a trav\u00e9s de un caso de estudio y se propusieron varias recomendaciones. Tanto el tama\u00f1o de la finca (el \u00e1rea sembrada anual) como la estructura topogr\u00e1fica afectaron la din\u00e1mica de los rendimientos de la inversi\u00f3n. Bajo las condiciones actuales de pol\u00edtica agr\u00edcola, y de precios, la adopci\u00f3n de la tasa de aplicaci\u00f3n variable tendr\u00eda una ventaja econ\u00f3mica en fincas similares a la del caso de estudio con un \u00e1rea sembrada anual superior a 567 ha a\u00f1o\u22121. Sin embargo, las tendencias actuales en los precios de la energ\u00eda, los costes de transporte y los impactos tanto en los precios de los cereales como en los costes de los fertilizantes mejoran la viabilidad de la adopci\u00f3n de esta tecnolog\u00eda para una poblaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s amplia de tipos de fincas. La rentabilidad de la adopci\u00f3n de aplicaci\u00f3n variable de nitr\u00f3geno mejora bajo dichos escenarios y, en ausencia de apoyos adicionales, el \u00e1rea m\u00ednima para la adopci\u00f3n de aplicaci\u00f3n variable disminuye hasta un rango de 68-177 ha a\u00f1o\u22121 de \u00e1rea de siembra.

Chilli plant biomass growth in different development stages and fruit productivity were evaluated and compared with each other for the impact of growth boundary conditions and water quality effects. Treated synthetic greywaters by different operational design set-ups of floating treatment wetland systems were recycled for watering chillies in both locations. Effluents of each individual group of treatment set-up systems were labelled to feed sets of three replicates of chilli plants in both locations. Results revealed that the treated synthetic greywater (SGW) complied with thresholds for irrigation water, except for high concentrations (HC) of phosphates, total suspended soils, and some trace elements, such as cadmium. Chilli plants grew in both locations with different growth patterns in each development stage. First blooming and high counts of flowers were observed in the laboratory. Higher fruit production was noted for greenhouse plants: 2266 chilli fruits with a total weight of 16.824 kg with an expected market value of GBP 176.22 compared to 858 chilli fruits from the laboratory with a weight of 3.869 kg and an estimated price of GBP 17.61. However, trace element concentrations were detected in chilli fruits with the ranking order of occurrence as: Mg &gt; Ca &gt; Na &gt; Fe &gt; Zn &gt; Al &gt; Mn &gt; Cu &gt; Cd &gt; Cr &gt; Ni &gt; B. The highest concentrations of accumulated Cd (3.82 mg/kg), Cu (0.56 mg/kg), and Na (0.56 mg/kg) were recorded in chilli fruits from the laboratory, while greater accumulations of Ca, Cd, Cu, Mn, and Ni with concentrations of 4.73, 1.30, 0.20, 0.21, and 0.24 mg/kg, respectively, were linked to fruits from the greenhouse. Trace elements in chilli plant soils followed the trend: Mg &gt; Fe &gt; Al &gt; Cr &gt; Mn &gt; Cd &gt; Cu &gt; B. The accumulated concentrations in either chilli fruits or the soil were above the maximum permissible thresholds, indicating the need for water quality improvements.</p></article>", "keywords": ["agricultural water management", "2.

The management practices included (I) sustained deficit irrigation and (II) soil management. Severe deficit irrigation resulted in lower vegetation indexes (VI) values, \u03a8stem and tree dimensions (13 %, 23 % and 14 % lower, respectively) than those obtained for full irrigation strategy; whereas moderate deficit irrigation did not affect any of the parameters analysed. The presence of vegetation cover in the inter-row resulted in a VIs increase (19-42 %) and in lower tree dimensions (reductions of 7-8 % for trunk perimeter and 0.34-0.37 m for canopy diameter) when compared to bare soil treatment, but did not have any influence on \u03a8stem.

Our approach has been for agricultural and water management applications at the regional and local scale. Despite being a rather small area, we were able to observe different signal behaviours corresponding to major land cover classes in Mediterranean areas i.e.: dryland and irrigated crops, forests and natural vegetation (grass-shrubs). The area also allowed assessing the impact of topography. The first result of the study is that the results are very dependent on the normalizations used to make the data comparable, thus their impact must be carefully analysed. In this study, we applied two different normalisation methods (called ZV35 and ZV) and different moving average windows (1, 10 and 30days) in order to enhance seasonal effects. Using no smoothing window, ASCAT is the soil moisture product that correlates best with the LSM over all cover classes, whatever the method. Using smoothing window, AMSR-E tends to outperform other soil moisture products with the ZV method. The ZV35 method is not able to identify a small heavily irrigated area. The reason for these different results is that ZV35, tends to eliminate the monthly scale soil moisture memory and therefore becomes more sensitive to precipitation and less sensitive to the monthly evolution of superficial soil moisture. The comparison shows in general good agreement for all soil moisture products with the LSM on the temporal series simulated over flat, non irrigated areas which are not close to the sea. SMOS has difficulties in areas close to the sea and in areas with steep relief and the current version of the L2 Operational Algorithm (V5.51) depicts few values in forested areas. ASCAT, in its turn, shows some limitations over agricultural and natural vegetation where it shows an increase of soil moisture from June to October probably due to increase of penetration depth in dry soil moisture conditions. AMSR-E LPRM shows a clear vegetation cycle over all the land cover classes. From all the remote sensing products, SMOS is the only one able to see irrigation and the only that does not show clear vegetation or roughness effects. In this study, we were able to assess the impact of higher resolution soil moisture products to map irrigated areas.", "keywords": ["2.

Spatial variability of water as a major driver of crop heterogeneity gains particular relevance within the context of precision agriculture, but modelling has devoted insufficient efforts to scale up from point to field the associated \u2018cause-effect\u2019 relations of water spatial variations. Seven crop simulation models (WOFOST, DSSAT, APSIM, DAISY, STICS, AquaCrop and MONICA) and five hydrologic models (HYDRUS-1D, HYDRUS-2D, SWAP, MIKE-SHE and SWIM) were selected and their water modelling approaches were systematically reviewed for comparison. Crop models rely mainly on \u2018discrete\u2019 and empirical approaches for modelling soil water movement while hydrologic models emphasize more \u2018continuous\u2019 and mechanistic ones. Combining both types of models may not be the best way forward as none of the models consider all of the processes which are relevant for the simulation of spatial variations. Hydrologic models pay more attention to spatially variable water processes than crop simulation models, although their focus is on scales higher than the field which is the relevant scale for assessing the influence of such variations on crop behaviour. Opportunities for progress in the spatial simulation of water processes at field level will probably come from two different directions. One implying a stronger synergism between both model families by using continuous-type approaches to simulate some mechanisms in existing crop models, and the other through the integration of lateral flows in the simulation of discrete water movement approaches.

Desde este punto de vista, se evaluaron las variaciones espaciales de las brechas de rendimiento en trigo de secano, en C\u00f3rdoba, Espa\u00f1a, que son causadas por flujos laterales de los puntos altos a los bajos. Desde una perspectiva agron\u00f3mica, las entradas laterales del agua contribuyen a las variaciones de rendimiento en los sistemas de producci\u00f3n de trigo de secano como el que se ha estudiado en el \u00e1mbito de esta tesis. La contribuci\u00f3n neta de estos flujos a las variaciones espaciales de los rendimientos potenciales de secano se mostr\u00f3 relevante pero altamente irregular entre diferentes a\u00f1os. A pesar de la variabilidad interanual, t\u00edpica de las condiciones mediterr\u00e1neas, la existencia de dichos flujos hizo que los rendimientos de trigo simulados variaran un +16% desde las \u00e1reas m\u00e1s elevadas de un campo hacia abajo. El rendimiento medio observado oscil\u00f3 entre 1.3 y 5.4 Mg de rendimiento de grano (GY) ha\u22121. Las respuestas de rendimiento neto al flujo lateral, cuenca abajo, fueron en promedio 383 kg de rendimiento de grano (GY) ha\u22121, y la productividad marginal de agua de LIF alcanz\u00f3 24.6 (\u00b113.2) kg GY ha\u22121 mm\u22121 en a\u00f1os de m\u00e1xima capacidad de respuesta. Dichos a\u00f1os de m\u00e1xima capacidad de respuesta se asociaron con bajas precipitaciones durante las etapas vegetativas del cultivo en combinaci\u00f3n con flujos laterales en las etapas posteriores a la floraci\u00f3n. En condiciones de campo, estas diferencias solo fueron visibles en uno de los dos a\u00f1os experimentales. Las implicaciones econ\u00f3micas asociadas con m\u00faltiples escenarios de tasa de aplicaci\u00f3n variable de nitr\u00f3geno se exploraron a trav\u00e9s de un caso de estudio y se propusieron varias recomendaciones. Tanto el tama\u00f1o de la finca (el \u00e1rea sembrada anual) como la estructura topogr\u00e1fica afectaron la din\u00e1mica de los rendimientos de la inversi\u00f3n. Bajo las condiciones actuales de pol\u00edtica agr\u00edcola, y de precios, la adopci\u00f3n de la tasa de aplicaci\u00f3n variable tendr\u00eda una ventaja econ\u00f3mica en fincas similares a la del caso de estudio con un \u00e1rea sembrada anual superior a 567 ha a\u00f1o\u22121. Sin embargo, las tendencias actuales en los precios de la energ\u00eda, los costes de transporte y los impactos tanto en los precios de los cereales como en los costes de los fertilizantes mejoran la viabilidad de la adopci\u00f3n de esta tecnolog\u00eda para una poblaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s amplia de tipos de fincas. La rentabilidad de la adopci\u00f3n de aplicaci\u00f3n variable de nitr\u00f3geno mejora bajo dichos escenarios y, en ausencia de apoyos adicionales, el \u00e1rea m\u00ednima para la adopci\u00f3n de aplicaci\u00f3n variable disminuye hasta un rango de 68-177 ha a\u00f1o\u22121 de \u00e1rea de siembra. La combinaci\u00f3n de aumentos de precios con la introducci\u00f3n de un subsidio adicional asociado al \u00e1rea de cultivo podr\u00eda reducir sustancialmente el umbral de adopci\u00f3n hasta 46 ha a\u00f1o\u22121, lo que hace que la tecnolog\u00eda sea econ\u00f3micamente viable para una poblaci\u00f3n mucho m\u00e1s amplia de agricultores.", "keywords": ["Agricultural crops", "Water management", "Artificial Neural Network", "Precision agriculture", "Crop modelling", "NDVI", "Spatial modelling", "Machine learning", "Water balance"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Roquette Tenreiro, Tom\u00e1s", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/oai:helvia.uco.es:10396/24059"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "oai:helvia.uco.es:10396/24059", "name": "item", "description": "oai:helvia.uco.es:10396/24059", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/oai:helvia.uco.es:10396/24059"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2022-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "12fab437-ceba-42b8-b176-f06fcf8567f3", "type": "Feature", "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-5.52, 9.4], [-5.52, 15.08], [2.4, 15.08], [2.4, 9.4], [-5.52, 9.4]]]}, "properties": {"themes": [{"concepts": [{"id": "boundaries"}], "scheme": "https://standards.iso.org/iso/19139/resources/gmxCodelists.xml#MD_TopicCategoryCode"}], "updated": "2020-01-27T09:46:37", "language": "eng", "title": "Burkina Faso: Livelihoods zones for Agricultural Water Management", "description": "Livelihood zoning consists in identifying areas where rural people share relatively homogeneous living conditions, on the basis of a combination of biophysical and socio-economic determinants.
