Así, las prácticas de laboreo empleadas habitualmente, pueden llegar a provocar una reducción de materia orgánica en el suelo de un 60% en 60 años (Kinsella, 1995), pudiendo ocasionar la pérdida de unas 2,5 Tm/Ha/año, 970 Mt de pérdida de tierra en UE (Panagos et al., 2015).

Dry conditions ☀️ allow sowing👨‍🌾 campaign to catch up. According to the November edition of the JRC MARS Bulletin - crop monitoring in Europe🇪🇺, favourable temperatures 🌡️ and soil moisture conditions helped farmers to accelerate sowing.

average to above-average temperatures and drier-than-usual conditions helped farmers to accelerate sowing, and were favourable for the initial development of recently sown crops.
