The proceedings from the Nordic Phosphorus workshop, February 2004, address the role of decision tools in the process of abating phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural land in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Compliance with the Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires these countries to substantially reduce diffuse P losses from agricultural land. Uniform national reduction policies aimed solely at lowering P inputs to agricultural land are at best inefficient and at worst unsuitable for reducing diffuse P losses sufficiently over the next two decades. Instead high-risk areas for P losses in agricultural landscapes have to be targeted. The identification of high-risk areas and the administrative handling of mitigation strategies call for an objective risk assessment framework in the form of a decision and mitigation-planning tool. Such tools are viewed as an important step in the WFD process. A single conceptual framework for a P decision tool is expected to apply in the Nordic and Baltic countries, requiring though local adaptations. Researchers, landmanagers and landusers discuss the scope of different decision tools, practical experiences with assessing P loss, cost-effectiveness of mitigation and future developments in user-friendly tools for the Nordic and Baltic region.

The title ‘Phosphorus in Agriculture: 100 % Zero’ is synonymous for make-or-break. And it stands up to the promise. This book sends an important message as it delivers background information, intrinsic hypotheses, validation approaches and legal frameworks, all for balanced phosphorus fertilization in agriculture. This implies firstly that the phosphorus requirement of crop is fully satisfied by applying exclusively fertilizers which contain the nutrient in completely available form. Secondly, environmental demands through eutrophication and hazardous contaminants must not be compromised. The book identifies equally knowledge gaps and deficits in the transformation and implementation of research into practice. Bottom line is that research delivers the tools for a sustainable phosphorus management while legal frameworks are insufficient.

The papers in this volume address issues of soil formation, soil management, soil protection and the role of biodiversity that must be considered for a sustainable soil use. The papers are aimed at geoscientists in the broadest sense, and others concerned with soil use who will also find chapters relevant to their interests. Soils knowledge used within other Earth sciences is essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems, for the solutions of problems in environmental quality and for sustainable use of soils by humans.

Provides a unique and comprehensive assessment of soil erosion throughout Europe, an important aspect to control and manage if landscapes are to be sustained for the future. Written in two parts, Soil Erosion in Europe primarily focuses on current issues, area specific soil erosion rates, on and off-site impacts, government responses, soil conservation measures, and soil erosion risk maps. The first part overviews the erosion processes and the problems encountered within each European country, whilst the second section takes a cross-cutting theme approach. Based on an EU-funded project that has been running for four years with erosion scientists from 19 countries Reviews contemporary erosion processes and rates on arable and rangeland in Europe Looks at current issues, such as socio-economic drivers, controlling factors specific to the country and changes in land use
