7 LAWINE Wind erosion and Tillage practises cause  Soil loss

8 LAWINE Wind erosion and Tillage practises cause  Soil loss  Land degradation

9 LAWINE Wind erosion and Tillage practises cause  Soil loss  Land degradation  Declining fertility

12 Photo: M. Riksen One million hectares in Europe… suffer from wind erosion COM(2002)179

13 LAWINE “Soil loss and declining fertility are indicated as a main threat to sustainable development as it erodes the viability of agricultural land.” COM(2001)264

14 LAWINE What is our response ?

15 LAWINE EC: “Towards a strategy for soil protection”

16 LAWINE LAWINE: We want to develop an integrated assessment approach to understand, monitor and predict the impact of wind erosion and tillage practises on land degradation

17 LAWINE Integrated assessment:  A reflective and iterative participatory process that links knowledge (science) and actions (policy) regarding complex issues

18 LAWINE Integrated assessment:  A reflective and iterative participatory process that links knowledge (science) and actions (policy) regarding complex issues  Interdisciplinary process of combining, interpreting and communicating knowledge from diverse scientific disciplines in such a way that the whole cause-effect chain of a problem can be evaluated from a synoptic perspective (Encyclopedia of Global Environmental Change, T. Munn, 2002)

19 LAWINE Integrated assessment:  combine existing scientific and multidisciplinary excellence

20 LAWINE Integrated assessment:  combine existing scientific and multidisciplinary excellence  better response to complex aspects of land degradation (monitoring systems, data networks)

21 LAWINE Integrated assessment:  combine existing scientific and multidisciplinary excellence  better response to complex aspects of land degradation (monitoring systems, data networks)  follow DPSIR assessment line

22 LAWINE Integrated assessment:  combine existing scientific and multidisciplinary excellence  better response to complex aspects of land degradation (monitoring systems, data networks)  follow DPSIR assessment line  support long-term EU soil policy

23 LAWINE Objectives:  understand  monitor  predict the impact of soil particle emissions on land degradation and vulnerability of managed, semi-natural and natural ecosystems in Europe, in the context of land use climate change

24 LAWINE Expected results:  Products (risk maps, scenario maps, assessments)  Services (on-line prediction, model system for scenario calculations)  New knowledge on wind-soil interactions and its response to global change and changes in human activities  Policy support
