Effect of Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions on erosion and soil organic carbon balance: A national case study

Peer-reviewed publication
Dezembro, 2015
Itália
Estados Unidos

Since, the Common Agricultural Policies (CAP) reform in 2003, many efforts have been made at the European level to promote a more environmentally friendly agriculture. In order to oblige farmers to manage their land sustainably, the GAEC (Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions) were introduced as part of the Cross Compliance mechanism. Among the standards indicated, the protection of soils against erosion and the maintenance of soil organic matter and soil structure were two pillars to protect and enhance the soil quality and functions.

Analysis of possibilities for linking land registers and other official registers in the Republic of Croatia based on LADM

Peer-reviewed publication

República Centro-Africana

Estados Unidos

Weak or non-existing linkage of official registers in the Republic of Croatia and the data redundancy as an inevitable outcome of such a state are the causes of various unwanted consequences for the relevant public authorities, as well as for citizens and companies as the end-users of that data. In this paper we present the results of an analysis of the status of the redundancy within the Croatian land administration-related registers.

Forestry paradigms and policy change: The evolution of forestry policy in Britain in relation to the ecosystem approach

Peer-reviewed publication
Novembro, 2015
Reino Unido
Território Britânico do Oceano Índico

Forestry policy and practice in Britain has been subject to a series of paradigm changes since the establishment of the Forestry Commission in 1919. Drawing on a documentary analysis of legislation, published policy statements, commentaries and scholarly critiques, this paper argues that British forestry policy has undergone three significant paradigm shifts since it was first mooted in the late 19th century.

The Land Administration Domain Model

Peer-reviewed publication
Novembro, 2015
Global

Societal drivers including poverty eradication, gender equality, indigenous recognition, adequate housing, sustainable agriculture, food security, climate change response, and good governance, influence contemporary land administration design. Equally, the opportunities provided by technological development also influence design approaches. The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) attempts to align both: the data model provides a standardised global vocabulary for land administration.

Policy relevance of Critical Zone Science

Peer-reviewed publication
Novembro, 2015
Europa

Critical Zone Science extends the definition of soils beyond the traditional pedogenetic processes. The critical zone, as the interface linking the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the biosphere matches well the concepts that have recently emerged, especially in Europe, in relation to the development of a new soil protection policy for the European Union.
