Impact Assesment of Land Use Systems and Management on Soil Properties: Research Area: G?d?ll?, Hungary

Land use and land cover changes are more likely to be the most noteworthy challenge facing the Earth over the next century. Land systems are acknowledged as resulting from the dynamic interactions within the socio-ecological system. It represents the terrestrial component of the Earth system and encompasses all processes and activities related to the human use of land, including socio-economic, technological and organizational investments and arrangements, as well as the benefits gained from land and the unintended social and ecological outcomes of societal activities. Different soil properties have been used to assess soil quality. Soil properties sensitive to variation in management are needed to compare the effects of management practices on soil over time
