Soil ecology plays a key role in natural soil functions.
Preservation of soil functions through the identification of priority areas and establishment of actions programmes.
This task focuses on the interlinkage between soil functions and the valuation of ESS.
Monitoring the degradation process in pastures from soil quality indicators is fundamental to assess their soil functions.
In those areas which are particularly important for the protection of soil functions and in areas specifically designated as drinking water resources, the extraction of mineral resources shall be foregone.
Benefits will increase with time,as soil fertility and soil functions are restored.
Considering that microarthropods are an assembly of organisms important for maintenance of soil functions as a natural resource, this study aimed to evaluate, in three chapters, some aspects of disturbances promoted by the pw irrigation on these organisms.
Integration of soil concerns into other policies and preservation of soil functions.
The aim of this Directive is to ensure the protection of soil, based on the principles of preservation of soil functions, prevention of soil degradation, mitigation of its effects, restoration of degraded soils and integration into other sectoral policies by establishing a common framework and actions.
Where on-site mitigation measures are insufficient, compensation measures that enhance soil functions elsewhere may be considered.
For the purposes of preserving the soil functions referred to in Article 1(1), Member States shall take appropriate measures to limit sealing or, where sealing is to be carried out, to mitigate its effects in particular by the use of construction techniques and products which will allow as many of those functions as possible to be maintained.
Any protection strategy must deliver soils which maintain sustainable environmental functions and in particular natural soil functions.
Member States shall ensure that any land user whose actions affect the soil in a way that can reasonably be expected to hamper significantly the soil functions referred to in Article 1(1) is obliged to take precautions to prevent or minimise such adverse effects.
The requirement for land users to take precautionary measures when their use of the soil can be expected to significantly hamper soil functions.
BAR_ Summary of the proposed action The proposed Directive includes:The establishment of a common framework to protect soil on the basis of the principles of preservation of soil functions, prevention of soil degradation, mitigation of its effects, restoration of degraded soils and integration in other sectoral policies.
This Directive should make provision for Member States to identify andassess the impact of these policies on the prevention of soil degradation processes and the protection of soil functions.
AWARE that, on the one hand, the Alps are an important living and economic environment for the resident populations and a recreational environment for the populations of other regions and that,on the other hand, the preservation of soil functions is jeopardised by diverging claims on soil utilisation which clash within the narrow confines of the Alpine region; and that for this reason, economic interests must be reconciled with ecological requirements;
The cultivation of grassland in long-term led to a homogenizing selection of microbial communities, reducing beta-diversity,with consequent changes in the soil functions related to stress.
For the purposes of preserving the soil functions referred to in Article 1(1), Member States shall in respect of the risk areas identified in accordance with Article 6, draw up, at the appropriate level, a programme of measures including at least risk reduction targets, the appropriate measures for reaching those targets, a timetable for the implementation of those measures and an estimate of the allocation of private or public means for the funding of those measures.
Where sealing does occur Member States shouldprovide for construction and drainage techniques that would allow as many soil functions as possible to be preserved.
For the purposes of preserving the soil functions referred to in Article 1(1), Member States shall take appropriate and proportionate measures to limit the intentional or unintentional introduction of dangerous substances on or in the soil, excluding those due to air deposition and those due to a natural phenomenon of exceptional, inevitable and irresistible character, in order to avoid accumulation that would hamper soil functions or give rise to significant risks to human health or the environment.
In the public interest, therefore, land users should be required to take precautionary measures when their use of the soil can be expected to significantly hamper soil functions.
The current proposal aims at filling this gap and has the objective of establishing a common strategy for the protection and sustainable use of soil based on the principles of integration of soil concerns into other policies,preservation of soil functions within the context of sustainable use, prevention of threats to soil and mitigation of their effects, as well as restoration of degraded soils to a level of functionality consistent at least with the current and approved future use._BAR.
An approach to soil sealing to ensure a more rational use of land in accordance with Article 174 of the EC Treaty and to maintain as many soil functions as possible.
After approaching regional trends in soil conditions, at a continental level, briefly presented in Table 1,the report summarizes the global threats to soil functions and suggests seven political routes to face these challenges.
Most of the existing national provisions tackle the problem of soil contamination and,though the other threats are recognised, there is a lack of focus on a wider preservation of soil functions.
Dung beetles(coleoptera: scarabaeidae: scarabaeinae) are an important group to study the relationships between ecological functions and physicochemical properties of soils in agricultural environments once they are easy to sample andespecially because they are closely related with soil functions in the ecosystem.
BAR_ There was unanimous consensus that soil shall be guaranteed the same level of protection as provided to other environmental media,such as air or water, because soil functions are crucial for human and ecosystem survival.
EMPHASISES the link between soil contamination and risks to human and animal health and to ecosystems and INVITES the Commission to come forward with recommendations for further actions as appropriate in this respect during 2004, including, inter alia,consideration of risks to soil functions and their potential impact on human health;
