Sustainable management of black soils: from practices to policies por Fontana, Ademir, Klimanov, Anatoly, Loss, Arcangelo, Clerici, Carlos, Wei, Fan, Qu, Jianhua, Carfagno, Patricia, Baron, Vern, Liu, Xiaoyu, Chen, Xueli, Labaz, Beata

“…As the food basket of the world, black soils are already degraded significantly after land use change from natural ecosystem to farmland, but main soil threats such as erosion by water and wind, loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic matter (SOM), and nutrient imbalance will further endanger its ecosystem service functions. For example, during the past several decades, black soils have lost about 50 percent of their initial SOC stock due to soil erosion, degradation, and other unsustainable human activities (Gollany et al., 2011). …”
