A new global assessment of soil nutrient balances
Global soil resources are under increasing pressure. Many subsistence farming systems are prone to an irreversible decline of soil fertility, whereas high input systems are resulting in environmental contamination. Discussions aro ...

A global soil map for environmental modelling
Recently a new global soil map for environmental modelling has been created. The basis for the soil map is a global model for soil formation based on an extensive literature review. The question that remains is whether we can impr ...

Soil management as a strategy for crop disease management
Crop disease management typically includes chemical control and plant breeding. However, in many cases crop diseases are related to soil conditions that may suppress or favour crop diseases. As a result soil management is a potent ...

Landscape development of a swampy meadow and drowning of ancient oaks in the Binnenveld area (Wageningen)
The fluvial landscape of the Netherlands is characterised by low-energy rivers, often with a meandering or laterally stable channel pattern. However, it is unknown whether streams have always had a clear channel, or that waterflow ...

Digital soil mapping with uncertain data
The thesis research begins with getting acquainted with DSM by studying a few key articles and application of DSM to example datasets (using R scripts). Next you will study a known method to incorporate measurement error in regres ...

Soil-landscape controls and the impact of extreme climatic events on terrestrial ecosystems
Changes in vegetation activity caused by changes in extreme climatic events are of a complex nature since the processes inducing change act on different temporal and spatial scales. Therefore, in order to improve our understanding ...

Remote sensing: Mapping of water ponding patterns on agricultural land in Flevoland, The Netherlands
Subsoil compaction can have a detrimental effect on agricultural productivity, through limitation of the root system, disconnection from groundwater, and reduced permeability. The latter of these can result in periodic ponding of  ...

Understanding changes in soil organic carbon storage across Europe
Increasing soil organic carbon storage is an important strategy for meeting climate goals. However, over the past decade, soil organic carbon concentration has continued to decline across European croplands. Why? In this thesis ...

Predicting soil P availability and risk of P emissions in Europe
Phosphorus (P) cycling in soil is essential for several ecosystem services, including food production, water regulation, and carbon sequestration. However, humans have altered global P flows to a degree that we have overstepped pl ...

The effect of management practices on soil functions
How we manage our soils can both negatively and positively impact the capacity of our soils to function. However, the effect of specific practices on soil functions is not always well understood. On the one hand we often measure t ...
