The term "soil erodibility" indicates the aptitude of a soil, based on its properties, to be eroded
by the following processes and exogenous agents_ rainfall, runoff, mass movements and wind.
The concept of erodibility gained in importance during the last 50 years in the field of
soil erosion modelling and applications of soil conservation. However, erodibility is a concept
borrowed from geomorphological literature that was developed and adopted up to the
beginning of the 20th century.
In this context, the concept of erodibility was often used to give a qualitative assessment
of the effectiveness of various forms of erosion caused by exogenous agents such as water, ice
and wind (Davis, 1909). It was used mainly by geologists and geographers for a long time and
related to the processes most effective in the characterization of landform dynamics (Taylor
and Eggleton, 2001; Turkington et al., 2005). It is easy to associate varying rates of erodibility
to compactness of igneous and metamorphic rock masses compared to marls and clay shale,
deeply eroded by gullies. Indeed, the effectiveness of different processes and geomorphic
agents is directly linked to the characteristics of the bedrock in its state of weathering.

One of the primary functions of soil is that of buffering, filtration and transformation of
many substances including pollutants. This function is of primary importance when dealing
with land evaluation for protecting soil from contamination. Soil protective capacity, or soil
attenuation capacity, is the potential of soil to filter polluting agents and to mitigate harmful
effects without compromising its functionality. This quality is complex and delicate and can
undergo substantial modification even over a brief period. In order for it to be assessed, soil
"vulnerability" must be taken into consideration.
Soil vulnerability is the "capability for the soil system to be harmed in one or more of its
ecological functions" (Batjes and Bridges, 1993). These functions include_ (1) biomass
production; (2) the already mentioned function of filter, buffer, storage and transformation;
and (3) biological habitat and gene pool. Therefore, static and dynamic properties of soil that
control the movement of pollutants also condition its vulnerability.
Soil vulnerability is a more complex concept than water vulnerability, which is normally
defined as the potential pollution water bodies may undergo and is often measured in terms
of current pollution. Water vulnerability is linked to the protective capacity of the soils at the
interface between the hydrogeological reference system and the atmosphere. The concept of water vulnerability even takes on a regulatory sense, inasmuch as European Directive 91/
676/CEE, better known as the "Nitrates Directive", requires Member States to define as
vulnerable zones the areas of land of their territory draining to water polluted by nitrates from
agricultural sources. To this aim, in addition to water monitoring data, adequate knowledge/
information on areas vulnerable to the risk of contamination and pressures from agriculture
are essential elements for supporting the designation process.
In order to apply environmental regulations, another concept has also been used over
time, that of suitability for application of biowaste of various origins (e.g., sewage sludge,
slurries). In this case, maximum loads must be evaluated, together with the ways in which
organic material is applied, thus increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil and
supplying nutritional elements, without, however, causing problems by polluting the soil
itself or the waters.

Abstract
Land and soil evaluation is a classification system that assesses the best use for a ...
Land and soil evaluation is a classification system that assesses the best use for a given portion
of territory, while evidencing the existing limitations for more or less specific types of use.
Although land evaluation dates back to the introduction of agricultural use of land, it has only
been since the beginning of the 20th century that, with the spread of pedology, and soil
mapping, as a science in its own right, soil and land evaluation has taken on a purely territorial
perspective. The term "land" is defined by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO, 1985) as "an area of the earth's surface, the characteristics of which
embrace all reasonably stable, or predictably cyclic, attributes of the biosphere ... including
those of the atmosphere, the soil and underlying geology, the hydrology, the plant and animal
populations, and the results of past and present human activity...."
However, the objective of the evaluation may also be the soil itself, or rather the "soil
type", meaning a group of soils with similar features and properties; so it is that we talk about
soil evaluation.
According to the Soil Taxonomy definition (1999), soil is a natural body, present on the
land surface, formed by solid materials (minerals and organic matter), liquids and gases. Soil
occupies space and is characterized by one or both of the following elements_ (1) horizons or
layers, which can be distinguished from the initial material as the consequence of additions,
losses, transfers and transformations of energy and matter and (2) the capacity to support
plants with root systems in a natural environment. The upper limit of soil borders the air,
shallow water, live plants or undecayed plant matter.

Scenarios induced land use changes and their effects on abiotic and biotic indicators are analysed for a heterogeneous territory in Northern Tuscany.
Results show that under a specific policy scenario the responses are highly variable within a given region depending of the landscape component considered
and that scenarios induced changes result in significant modifications of land use patterns. The changes in crop spatial pattern are clearly
differentiated in three groups of responses depending upon the scenario settings. The spatially explicit approach adopted proved to be necessary to
properly evaluate the impacts of policy scenarios on the environmental services provided by agriculture.
