This paper aims to solve the problem of erosion sediment that negatively affects quality fallowed soil through development a new type agricultural machinery. The transported will be quantified locally evaluate danger these negative effects on and functionality grass cover. Subsequently, machinery proposed for remediation eroded conservation soil. In various fallow research areas with different management methods (such as biobelts, grassed valleys, waterways), land affected by was examined, appropriate designed rehabilitate stands after events. By identifying physical mechanical properties soil, well deposited sediment/colluvium, shape, material, attachment method, assembly working tool relevant mobile energy device were designed. developed tool, based plow–carry system using tractor, features flexible tools separate from surface, transfer it over short distance, accumulate in designated area facilitate subsequent removal minimal damage herbaceous vegetation. calculated event 196.9 m3 (179.0 ha−1), corresponding 295 tons (268.5 t ha−1) 90 ha.

In the highlands of Ethiopia, integrated community watershed management has drawn a lot interest as solution to low production and soil degradation. However, documentation its role in managing fertility health under diverse landscape perspectives remains inadequate. The main objective this study was link effects positions practices (conservation agriculture (CA) non-CA) on selected properties. Disturbed undisturbed samples were collected at depth 0-20 cm from 192 locations (16 different watersheds) analyze texture, bulk density (ρd), pH, organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (Av.P). used analysis variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation, principal component examine relationship between factors, identify patterns, understand data variability. findings indicated that position significantly affects values ρd, sand clay, SOC, Av.P, TN p < 0.05. sand, showed statistically significant variations CA non-CA. interaction status (well poor) highly for properties except silt pH. results also demonstrated substantial correlation observed Meanwhile, components 1-3 collectively described 64.45% Therefore, it is possible infer successful intervention improves topsoil properties, which urges maintenance development water conservation, CA, vermicomposting practices.

Over 60% of European soils are unhealthy according to the Soil Mission board estimates and indicators presented in Union (EU) degradation dashboard. The situation may worsen if no policy interventions taken. unsustainable use natural resources, particular soils, precipitates biodiversity loss, exacerbated by climate crisis. In particular, EU alone, soil costs over €50 billion per year due loss essential services they provide impact on human health. Here a more precise estimation cost related set processes, ranging between €40.9 72.7 is presented. This newly updated estimate compared Impact assessment Monitoring Law takes into account erosion, contamination, phosphorus losses, carbon nitrogen compaction, sealing. However, this might double it added floods, droughts, off-site effects health consequences contamination. Therefore, further research needed address knowledge gap missing costs. critical issue with transboundary implications that requires urgent attention action at level. substantial, both terms environmental impacts economic consequences, highlighting importance investing sustainable management practices harmonized monitoring system. By addressing through proposed Law, significant amounts for innovation Mission, promoting international cooperation, can take solid steps toward protecting its resources achieving future all.

Water-Regulating Ecosystem Services (WRES) play a crucial role in maintaining water quality and preventing soil erosion, particularly watershed areas that are vulnerable to Land Use Cover Changes (LULCC) climate change. This study focuses on the Upper Beht Watershed, most ecologically significant basin of Ifrane National Park (INP). The main objective is understand how WRES values respond challenges posed by grasslands degradation, agricultural intensification, urban expansion before after park’s creation. In this research, we first analyzed historical (LULC) data from 1992 2022 using Google Earth Engine platform. We then employed Integrated Valuation Tradeoffs (InVEST 3.10.2) models quantify map impacts ongoing LULCC watershed’s capacity retain sediments nutrients. Finally, used damage costs avoided method for economic assessment WRES. Our findings demonstrate notable improvement value following establishment park, reaching USD 10,000 per year. contrast, prior its creation, service experienced decline −7000 positive trend can be attributed forest cover prioritized reforestation conservation interventions. highlights critical importance continuous monitoring, providing park managers with robust advocate sustained efforts increased investment restoration initiatives within protected areas. Moreover, raise awareness among local communities encourage their active engagement sustainable development initiatives.

New policy developments have emerged in relation to soil conservation after 2020. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2023–2027, the proposal for a Soil Monitoring Law and mission 'A Deal Europe' shaped new framework at EU level, which requires updated assessments on erosion land degradation. Observatory (EUSO) successfully organised scientific workshop 'Soil EU' June 2022. event has seen participation of more than 330 people from 63 countries, addressing important topics such as (i) management practices, (ii) large scale modelling, (iii) importance sediments nutrient cycle, (vi) role landslides (v) laying foundations early career scientists. As follow up, among 120 abstracts submitted workshop, we received fifteen manuscripts, out nine were selected publication present special issue. In this editorial, summarize major challenges that research community faces supporting increasing soils Green Deal.
