Compaction induced losses in soil services in Europe under future climate (opens in new tab)

Soil compaction has negative impacts on soil ecosystem services, such as food production, groundwater recharge and climate regulation. The extent, magnitude, and spatio-temporal variability of the environmental and economic impacts of compaction remain unknown. In this study, we develop a novel framework that couples a soil-compaction-agroecosystem model with climate projections from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) to systematically predict changes in crop yield, nitrogen lo...
