This book presents definitions, key concepts and projects in landscape research and related areas, such as landscape science and landscape ecology, addressing and characterising the international role, status, challenges, future and tools of landscape research in the globalised world of the 21st century. The book brings together views on landscapes from leading international teams and emerging authors from different scientific disciplines and regions of the globe. It describes approaches for achieving sustainability and for handling the multifunctionality of landscapes and includes international case studies demonstrating the great potential of landscape research to provide partial sustainable solutions while developing cultural landscapes and protecting semi-natural landscapes. It is intended for scientists from various disciplines as well as informed readers dealing with landscape policies, planning, evolvement, management, stewardship and conservation.

This book contributes to a deeper understanding of landscape and regional modelling in general, and its broad range of facets with respect to various landscape parameters. It presents model approaches for a number of ecological and socio-economic landscape indicators, and also describes spatial decision support systems (DSS), frameworks, and model-based tools, which are prerequisites for deriving sustainable decision and solution strategies for the protection of comprehensively functioning landscapes. While it mainly focuses on the latest research findings in regional modelling and DSS in Europe, it also highlights the work of scientists from Russia. The book is intended for landscape modellers, scientists from various fields of landscape research, university teaching staff, and experts in landscape planning and management, landscape conservation and landscape policy.

This book informs about knowledge gain in soil and land degradation to reduce or prevent it for meeting the mission of the Sustainable Developments Goals of the United Nations. Essence, extent, monitoring methods and implications for ecosystem functioning of main soil degradation types are characterized in overview chapters and case studies. Challenges, approaches and data towards identification of degradation in the frame of improving functionality, health and multiple ecosystem services of soil are demonstrated in the studies of international expert teams. The book consists of five parts, containing 5–12 single chapters each and 36 in total. Parts are explaining (I) Concepts and Indicators, (II) Soil Erosion and Compaction, (III) Soil Contamination, (IV) Soil Carbon and Fertility Monitoring and (V) Soil Survey and Mapping of DegradationThe primary audience of this book are scientists of different disciplines, decision-makers, farmers and further informed people dealing with sustainable management of soil and land.

This book provides information on key questions of soil science to meet the global challenges of the 21st century. We address the role of soils and key research topics from a landscape perspective. State-of–the art information on research and novel measurement and management technologies is presented in a simple question and answer style. The role of soils for feeding humanity, maintaining biodiversity and protecting the climate is highlighted. Facts are linked with novel international studies. Photographs and graphics illustrate soil functions, analyses and management options in specific landscapes. Numerous case studies in soil science, not yet published in English, are presented. They focus on landscapes in Northern Eurasia. Authors point on some critical issues of the current approaches to soil management. Knowledge and communication about soils can help to optimise the different stakeholder demands on soil use, enabling the survival of humanity in the 21st century. Basic knowledge of soil texture and structure, soil-forming factors, water balance, chemistry, biology, field diagnostic and sustainable management, which is important for everyone who makes professionally decisions about soils, must be improved. Soil science research should increasingly be conducted in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects and landscape observatories. Landscape planning and soil policies as instruments for guiding soil management should increasingly be based on scientific principles. The book is addressed to a wide range of stakeholders and students, including generalists and specialists in soil and landscape science research and teaching, scientists from neighbouring disciplines, employees of public authorities, farmers, horticulturalists and foresters as well as landscape planners and engineers.
