“…Moreover, it is acknowledged that even regional land degradation has global consequences (Conacher & Conacher, 1995; Leal Pacheco, Sanches Fernandes, Valle Junior, Valera, & Tarlé Pissarra, 2018). Soil erosion is an old phenomenon and the most important land degradation processes (Orr et al, 2017), which has been accompanying human landuse and land management through millennia (Dotterweich, 2008; Hoffmann et al, 2010; Smetanová, Verstraeten, Notebaert, Dotterweich, & Létal, 2017; Teuber et al, 2017).…”

Special issue Mapping and Modelling Soil Erosion to Address Societal Challenges in a Changing World presents advances in interdisciplinary methodologies for the study of the soil erosion/land management/climate change nexus, with a focus on societal challenges linked to land degradation. Contribution of 22 research teams active in 17 countries all over the world provided a global perspective on how soil erosion research contributes to meet societal challenges of our time. The authors conclude that (a) inclusive representation of non-linear system feedback between erosion and land management; (b) combination of mapping, measuring, monitoring, and modelling methods on different temporal and spatial scales; and (c) inclusive, cooperative interdisciplinary research approaches are inevitable to support management aiming for land degradation neutrality. 1 SOIL EROSION RESEARCH IN A CHANGING WORLD Land degradation, as part of the coupled natural and human system, leads to the reduction of biophysical, sociocultural, and economic functions of the ecosystem. Moreover, it is acknowledged that even regional land degradation has global consequences (

“…phase changes in the adaptive cycle at one scale, particularly to examine the overexploitation of natural resources (i.e., Walker et al 1981, Beier et al 2009, Soane et al 2012. A subset of studies have used similar historical narratives to explore ecological dynamics within food systems (Fraser 2003, Allison and Hobbs 2004, McAllister et al 2006, Fraser 2007, Dugmore et al 2009, Moen and Keskitalo 2010, Rosen and Rivera-Collazo 2012, Perez Rodriguez and Anderson 2013, Stroink and Nelson 2013, Salvia and Quaranta 2015, Rawluk and Curtis 2016, Teuber et al 2017, Jiménez et al 2020. These studies apply the adaptive cycle and/ or panarchy in one SES over time.…”

The globalized and interconnected nature of food systems provides many examples of panarchies within social-ecological systems. However, few are analyzed using panarchy theory, particularly urban food systems, or in a comparative manner. We aimed to broaden the examination of cross-scale dynamics of food systems by applying panarchy theory through comparative study of three urban food systems: Flint, Michigan, Cleveland, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. These are all post-industrial Rust Belt cities that have experienced similar economic downturns but have responded in different ways, which has created significantly different food system outcomes. We present an approach for applying panarchy theory in food systems, and identifying indicators of potential and connectedness at multiple scales with sources for such data. We analyzed available data and demonstrate how the economic history of these cities has influenced their food system outcomes today. Economic recovery at the city scale in Pittsburgh/Allegheny County was reflected in reorganization in the food system, while the lack of economic recovery in Flint/Genesee County and the uneven access to economic recovery in Cleveland/Cuyahoga County potentially placed the cities and their food systems in lock-in traps. We also reflect on the limitations of publicly available data at the city scale for the food system and over time. Overlooking such gaps may blur boundaries within a panarchy analysis and lead to assumptions about cities based on county data which might not be accurate or may hide critical variables such as race or geographic size. We caution researchers to be clear about scale in panarchy analyses and to acknowledge the limitations of current data sets and thus the importance of mixed methods primary data collection. The incorporation of place and historical context into panarchy analyses can lend valuable explanatory power to our understanding of cross-scale dynamics in food systems.

“…Sustainable agricultural methods consist of different microhabitats with excellent environmental fluctuations and genetic biodiversity [78]. Reports from agrarian soils confirmed that there are high microbial stock and plant development promotion pursuits [79]. Many studies are showing the latest metagenomic improvements in agriculture [76][77][78].…”

The better strategies to examine RNA or DNA from soil allow us to understand the microbial diversity and features in the soil, which are challenging to identify by typical culture techniques. In this direction, the literature on soil metagenomics and its usefulness is ever-increasing and so as its implementation experiences. Omics techniques are going to assist the metagenomics in achieving agricultural sustainability. In doing so, essential understanding on the reference soil would serve to help upcoming soil survey initiatives, lessening bias and raising objectivity. Although the interpretation of limited details has influenced microbial ecologists, the scope of methodological bias remains unfamiliar. A detailed catalog of functional genes and soil microorganisms does not yet exist for any soil. Overall, this chapter provides thoughts related to the soil metagenomics, its importance, and conventional methods of analysis, along with prospects and challenges of soil metagenomics.
