SoilGrids produces maps of soil properties for the entire globe at medium spatial resolution (250 m cell size) using state-of-the-art machine learning methods to generate the necessary models. It takes as inputs soil observations from about 240 000 locations worldwide and over 400 global environmental covariates describing vegetation, terrain morphology, climate, geology and hydrology. The aim of…
Scenarios for the Global Land Outlook 2
The framework promotes coordinated, synergistic use of VGGT and F&G to strengthen land tenure governance in Africa.
Pilot Study Focusing on Ethiopia and Kenya
Food production systems developed under stable Holocene climate conditions. To identify these conditions for the first time, we developed the novel concept of safe climatic space. We show that unhalted growth of greenhouse gas emissions could force nearly one-third of global food crop production and over one-third of livestock production beyond this safe space by 2081–2100. The most…
In the absence of action to limit and adapt to climate change, the impact of droughts on Europe’s economy could reach over €65 billion a year by 2100, according to a JRC study published today in Nature Climate Change. As a share of the total GDP of EU countries and the UK, this is more than double the annual €9 billion costs of droughts today: 0.15% of total GDP, compared to 0.07%…
