“…For instance, regarding soil erosion and sediment delivery areas, the YSRs addressed the simulation of rainfall erosivity at each precipitation event (Matthews et al, 2022), developed an innovative method to estimate the cover management factor based on land parcel data (Matthews, Verstraeten, Borrelli, Vanmaercke, et al, 2023) and evaluated erosion effects on carbon balance and nutrients (Fendrich et al, 2022). In addition, YSRs generated the first ever map of cover crops in the EU (Fendrich et al, 2023), investigated phosphorus dynamics in EU agricultural systems (Muntwyler et al, 2023), analysed the implications of management practices for nutrient budgets (Muntwyler et al, 2024), and curated an EU sediment database (Matthews, Verstraeten, Borrelli, & Panagos, 2023).…”
