| 31 | Developing SoilML as a global standard for the collation and transfer of soil data and informationLuca Montanarella, Peter Wilson, Simon Cox, Alex McBratney, Sonya Ahamed, Bob McMillan, David Jacquier, and Jim FortnerThere is an increasing need to share soil data and information within countries, across regions and globally. Timely access to consistent and authoritative data and information is critical to issues such as food production, climate change, water management, energy production and biodiversity. Soil data and information is managed by numerous organisations using a plethora of processes, scales and standards. A number of national and international activities and projects are currently dealing with the issues associated with collation of disparate data sets. Standards are being developed for data storage, transfer and collation like, for example, in the GobalSoilMap.net project, e-SOTER and the EU Inspire GS-SOIL.

| 30 | The Soil Atlas of Africa, Raising awareness and educate to the importance of soilOlivier Dewitte, Arwyn Jones, Claudio Bosco, Otto Spaargaren, Luca MontanarellaThe richness of African soil resources need to be protected for future generations. A number of threats are affecting the functioning of African soils, not only for the purpose of agricultural production, but also for other important environmental services that soil delivers to all of us. This is of particular importance once we know that many health-related problems in Africa are indirectly related to the services of soils.

| 29 | Predicting water erosion at the regional scale in AfricaOlivier Dewitte, Claudio Bosco, Arwyn Jones, Luca MontanarellaSoil erosion by water is regarded as one of the most widespread forms of soil degradation in Africa, and as such, poses potentially severe limitations to sustainable development. In most of the regions, the evaluation of the impact of soil erosion is difficult due to a lack of up-todate and relevant data. A step forward for improving our knowledge would be the ability in most of the regions to locate at the regional scale the most sensitive areas Predicting water erosion at the regional scale in Africa Download Poster: Last Update: 12/05/2010

| 26 | Climate Change: soil can make a difference!Soil and Forest ActionCarbon (C) sequestration in soils is gaining increasing acceptance as a means of reducing net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere. The global quantity of carbon (C) present to a depth of 1 m in soil organic material (SOM) is about twice the 750 Pg present in the atmosphere as CO2. Soil in EU contains about 71 GtC in the upper 30 cm and 140 GtC to a depth of 1 m, equivalent to 7% of the global soil carbon sink. Climate Change: soil can make a difference!. Download Poster:

| 24 | An accessible digital archive of soil mapsSenthil-Kumar Selvaradjou, Luca Montanarella, Otto Spaargaren, and David Dent.Preservation of older data (in this case maps) are vital as they are building blocks of most current soil information. But in many countries, soil maps are being lost because of a lack of proper attention to storage and retrieval, often compounded by a loss of institutions that have been responsible for the acquisition and maintenance of soil and land resources data.

| 19 | Modelling Arsenic Hazard in Groundwater in Cambodia: a Geostatistical Approach using Ancillary DataLuis Rodriguez-Lado & David Polya.Arsenic in shallow groundwaters extensively utilized for drinking, irrigation and/cooking in many parts of the world, including Cambodia, represents a major environmental hazard The goal of this work is to develop a spatial model to estimate As concentration in groundwater in Cambodia and hence predict areas of high As hazard as tool to inform the development of adequate measurements to reduce risks to human health. The study revealed that there is a strong correlation between topographic environmental variables and the content of As in groundwater Modelling Arsenic Hazard in Groundwater in Cambodia: a Geostatistical Approach using Ancillary Data.
