The studies on anthropogenic climate change performed in the last decade over Europe
show consistent projections of increases in temperature and different patterns of …

The increase in atmospheric concentration of CO2 by 31% since 1750 from fossil fuel
combustion and land use change necessitates identification of strategies for mitigating the …

This paper reviews the knowledge on effects of climate change on agricultural productivity in
Europe and the consequences for policy and research. Warming is expected to lead to a …

Soils in equilibrium with a natural forest ecosystem have high carbon (C) density. The ratio
of soil: vegetation C density increases with latitude. Land use change, particularly …

Although arable landscapes have a long history, environmental problems have accelerated
in recent decades. The effects of these changes are usually externalised, being greater for …

This paper presents a global synopsis about the geomorphic evidence of soil erosion in
humid and semihumid areas since the beginning of agriculture. Historical documents …

Recent reports point to a decline in agricultural dependence on symbiotic nitrogen (N2)
fixation, and in the use of rhizobial inoculants. This review contrasts the potential …

Being a widespread phenomenon, land use changes are being increasingly evaluated by
modeling methods, including statistical modeling. Land use changes models facilitate …

Land use and climate changes induce shifts in plant functional diversity and community
structure, thereby modifying ecosystem processes. This is particularly true for litter …

Recent changes in the simulated potential crop yield and biomass production caused by
changes in the temperature and global radiation patterns are examined, using the Crop …
