Indirect land use change (ILUC) emissions from biofuels are commonly estimated with sophisticated economic models of world agriculture. Because these are often complex, the JRC in collaboration with K. Overmars and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) has developed an...

The report presents an independent estimate of the part of LUC emissions due to deforestation, starting from the 29% of historical deforestation area (and estimated emissions) caused by expansion of different crops. The deforestation area and emissions per tonne of extra crop are converted to...

The Water Framework Directive requires the development and implementation of river basin management plans for improving the ecological status of freshwater bodies throughout Europe. The scientific community supports this process by developing decision-support tools for identifying the principal...

This report presents a modelling framework to develop indicators on soil erosion. The main focus is the soil erosion estimates in agricultural lands in the view of current monitoring and evaluation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The factsheet of soil erosion indicator is an example of...

This document and its predecessor, The Remediated sites and brownfields. Success stories in Europe, were published at the initiative of EIONET NRC Soil, which established in 2015 an ad-hoc working group on contaminated sites and brownfields in Europe. The objective was to collect cases and...

The primary objective of this report is to document the improvements made to the Brazilian module of the Aglink-Cosimo model (Enciso et al., 2015; OECD-FAO, 2015) related to the inclusion of land use dynamics. Aglink-Cosimo is an agricultural partial equilibrium model developed by the Organisation...
