The EU Mission Board for Soil Health and Food proposed a series of quantitative targets European soils to become healthier. Among them, current soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration losses in croplands (0.5% yr ?1 on average at 20 cm depth) should be reversed an increase 0.1–0.4% by 2030. Quantitative are used policy makers incentivize the implementation agricultural practices that SOC stocks...

Shallow, near-shore water habitats on the continental shelf of the Northeast Atlantic have been productive fishing areas in the past. Here, we review the present knowledge about (i) recent trends in the abundance of plaice and cod in these habitats and (ii) hypotheses regarding the factors responsible for any trends. At present, only a few studies exist on the trends of abundance of plaice or c...

The effect of cropping system on the distribution of organic carbon (OC) and nitrogen (N) in soil aggregates has not been well addressed, which is important for understanding the sequestration of OC and N in agricultural soils. We analyzed the distribution of OC and N associated with soil aggregates in three unfertilized cropping systems in a 27-year field experiment: continuously cropped alfal...

We address these points here to show that not only do they not affect our conclusions, but that we are largely in agreement regarding the biological pr...
