Phosphorus plant removal
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/phosphorus-plant-removal>

In a recent publication
<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00003-022-01363-3>, we
estimated the Phosphorus (P) removal from agricultural lands of EU and UK
(ca. 173 million ha). This takes into account the P removed by crop
harvesting and the plant residues. For P removed by crop harvesting, we
used 7 major categories of crops and 37 crops in more than 220 regions of
EU and UK. The total P removal was about 2.55 million tonnes (Mt) (± 0.23
Mt), with crop harvesting having the larger contribution (ca. 94%) compared
to the crop residues removal. The mean P removal by crop harvesting is 14
kg ha-1 yr-1. Data are available.

Surface Water Assessment eNabler
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/projects/swan> (SWAN)

The FOCUS landscape and mitigation report states that the SWAN tool can be
utilised to implement mitigation of the spray drift and runoff routes of
exposure to surface water, in STEP 4 FOCUS surface water calculations. The
tool also facilitates FOCUS air recommendations on accounting for
volatilisation, short range transport and deposition to surface water
bodies for volatile compounds, needed when spray drift has been mitigated.
SWAN 5.0.1 (build date October 2018) is now hosted and available to
download via the surface water page of the ESDAC FOCUS website. This
version of SWAN is the same as that which was previously distributed /
available from the website of Tessella.

Joint PhD of JRC with Aarhus University
<https://phd.tech.au.dk/for-applicants/apply-here/saeropslag/strategies-to-reduce-greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-agricultural-soils-in-europe/>

*“Strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural soils in
Europe”* (deadline for applications *15.3.2022*). The PhD candidate will
integrate field studies outputs with large-scale process modelling to reach
sound recommendations about GHG mitigation practices in agricultural soils
at regional scale. This project will also shed light on the nitrogen losses
and GHG emissions.  The outcomes will contribute to the knowledge base
being developed by the JRC’s EU Soil Observatory and relevant policy areas
addressing soil health and climate change.

Rainstorms erosivity indexes
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/rainfall-erosivity-european-union-and-switzerland>

Heavy rainstorms play a central role in the water soil erosion processes.
In a recent publication
<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0341816221004355>, we
provide the spatiotemporal distribution of more than 300,000 erosive events
measured at 1181 locations as part of the Rainfall Erosivity Database at
European Scale (REDES) database. Rainfall erosive events are statistically
investigated through the Lorenz curve and derived coefficients such as the
Gini coefficient (G). In Europe, on average 11% of all erosive events
contribute to  50% of the total rainfall erosivity. Data ("Rainstorm
erosivity indexes") are available  with all erosivity datasets
