The Soil Ecosystem

23.7K
Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Earth Science
  • Geoscience

Background:

  • Soil erosion is a significant environmental issue globally.
  • Accurate soil erosion prediction models are crucial for land management.
  • Understanding the global application of these models is essential for targeted research and policy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review and map the global application of soil erosion prediction models.
  • To identify frequently addressed processes, applied regions, and research gaps.
  • To assess the frequency of model validation against measured data.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of peer-reviewed articles published between 1994 and 2017.
  • Compilation of a database (GASEMT) with 42 attributes from 1697 reviewed articles.
  • Collaboration with 67 soil erosion scientists from 25 countries.

Main Results:

  • The GASEMT database includes 3030 modelling records from 126 countries across all continents except Antarctica.
  • Identified key soil erosion processes and models frequently studied.
  • Highlighted under-addressed regions and the need for more model validation studies.

Conclusions:

  • The GASEMT database offers a comprehensive overview of global soil erosion modelling.
  • It serves as a foundation for the UN global soil erosion assessment and future research prioritization.
  • The open-source database encourages community-driven research and expansion.
