    《Metadata of the soil maps of ASIA》

    • The European Digital Archive of Soil Maps (EuDASM) was initiated by the MOSES (Monitoring the State of European Soil) action team members of the Soil and Waste Unit (SWU) in the Institute of Environment and Sustainability (IES), located at the Joint Research Centre (JRC), Italy in collaboration with ISRIC – World Information Centre, Wageninegen, The Netherlands to establish a global digital inventory of the existing soil maps of the World. The EuDASM aims in developing a common platform to conserve the soil maps and the information underlying in them by adapting the modern technological tools and make it accessible to the global research communities (Selvaradjou et al., 2005). The objective of the EuDASM initiative is to collect, organize and distribute the soil information existing in the soil maps (Soil map information and their subsequent proper metadata) to the global research communities. Primarily, this programme directs focus on the developing countries that are under serious threat of losing their soil maps either due to lack of proper support to maintain the existing storage and retrieval system or due to the decent of former institutions that were the former legalized holders of such the soil maps over the years. Especially, in the countries of African continent, parts of Asia and Latin America, which were the ancient colonized nations, had their soil map holding scattered all around the world. The knowledge of these countries on the information of the existence of their soil maps elsewhere that they have lost or unknown is meager. The international organizations like ISRIC, FAO etc. which had been making enormous efforts over many decades to collect and archive the soil maps especially in the developing countries, remains to be the kingpin at present to deliver such unknown information to the host itself and to the global public research communities. Nevertheless, EuDASM also covers archiving of pedo-maps pertaining to all developed nations. This programme functioning with a nature of pedo-archaeology narrates: the origin of the soil maps pointing back to the pre-world war; evolution of the soil survey and classification activities; systematic and schematic temporal development of soil information; the extensive application of soil map information in numerous interdisciplinary fields focusing on various global environmental studies (land degradation, soil erosion, soil compaction, agriculture, forestry, soil pollution, hydrology, etc.).

    《Soil and water in a changing environment》

    • BIO Intelligence Service (2014),Soil and water in a changing environment,Final Report prepared for European Commission (DG ENV), with support from HydroLogic ISBN:978-92-79-38794-4 DOI:10.2779/20608 The study Soil and water in a changing environment, carried out on behalf of the Environment Directorate-General of the European Commission, gathers information on the dynamics between soil and water, focusing particularly on soil water retention (SWR). Soil water retention can be defined as the capacity of the soil to capture, store and/or release water. It is a key soil property and significant component of the water cycle that greatly affects soil functioning and therefore its capability to deliver a range of ecosystem goods and services that are vital both for human activities (e.g. agriculture) and to nature (e.g. providing habitat for different species). It is defined to great extent by soil types, depending on its texture, organic matter content, structure or depth, for example. Moreover, also the type of land use and management practices significantly influence that capacity. A brief analysis of current major threats to European soils is enough to see that those soil threats will usually have a close link with water retention. Erosion, for example, is much more likely to occur in dry soils. And higher compaction, or sealing, prevents water from infiltrating the soil and therefore decreases its retention capacity. Consequences of changing retention capacities of soils together with the impact of changing weather patterns are already presently felt at European level, with some regions being particularly affected. In particular, the catastrophic flooding that recently occurred in 2002 and 2013 in Central and Eastern Europe, and in 2007 and 2014 in Western Europe, highlight the urgency to better consider the impacts of our economic development on soil water retention capacity and the resilience of natural ecosystems. The study shows that several opportunities exist in land use planning, urban design and in the agriculture and forestry sectors to preserve or even enhance soil water retention and reduce the costs of associated damages. This is especially important in Mediterranean countries, which are particularly vulnerable, and in areas subject to high soil sealing (e.g. densely populated and industrial areas) or rapid urban sprawl, such as coastal areas. The agricultural sector in particular, through wide variety of agricultural practices that can be implemented within a same land use type, represent a key opportunity and many beneficial practices still show an untapped potential for development across the EU.
