“…One of the best examples of aligned energy generation and food production is the use of alfalfa as a sanitary crop to address subsoil compaction and as a crop that can help reduce maize silage on the soils at risk of erosion and emissions impact [11,67]. Deeprooting crops are a desirable source of carbon in the deeper layers of the soil, where they also ensure the stability of soil aggregates and sufficient soil permeability.…”

This paper provides values of economic, energy and environmental assessments of 20 crops and assesses the relationships of soil-climatic conditions in the example of the Czech Republic. The comparison of main soil quality indicators according to the configuration of land and climate regions is performed on the basis of energy and economic efficiency as well as a comparison of the level of environmental impacts. The environmental impacts are identified based on the assessment of emissions from production and also in the form of soil compaction as an indicator of the relationship to soil quality. As concerns soil properties, of major importance is soil skeleton, slope of land and the depth of soil, which cause an increase in emissions from the energy produced. Substantially better emission parameters per 1 MJ through energy crops, the cultivation of perennial crops and silage maize has been supported. Among energy crops, a positive relationship with the quality of soil is seen in alfalfa, with a significant reduction in soil penetrometric resistance; energy crops are also politically justifiable in competition with other crops intended for nutrition of population. The main advantage of energy crops for the low-carbon economy is their CO2 production to MJ, which is almost half, especially in marginal areas with lower soil depths, slopes and stoniness, which can be included in the new agricultural policy.

“…The methodology of defining the official agricultural land price is based on the economic characteristics of the particular BPEJ, including parameterised returns of evaluating crops and normative expenses spent for their achievement (Nemec 2006;Voltr 2012;Voltr et al 2018).…”

“…Classification of land was created based on the Evaluated Soil-Ecological Unit (BPEJ) system. This system allows for classification of agricultural soils and their economic valuation based on their differing productive capacity (Nemec et al 2006;Voltr 2012;Voltr et. al.…”

“…These value-related land plot properties cannot be expressed in a general manner. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, we selected the method of land assessment according to the official BPEJ prices (Nemec et al 2006;Voltr 2012;Voltr et al 2018).…”

To analyse the potential changes in soil characteristics and associated impacts on the land price, the region of South Moravia was selected, strongly threatened by erosion and by claiming the most valuable land in suburban territories due to industrial and housing expansion. For the detailed analysis of the impacts of erosion and land appropriation in the region of South Moravia, the model territories of Brno surroundings with the municipality of Dolní Heršpice and Hustopeče surroundings with the municipality of Starovice were selected. The price of land degraded by potential erosion in the South Moravian region fluctuates between 88 and 2 400 EUR/ha. In the past 180 years, 148 ha of agricultural land in the total value of 822 815 EUR have been used for construction in the location under study in Dolní Heršpice. Further growth of the municipality should involve additional appropriation of agricultural land in the value of 411 000 EUR. In the studied land block of 100.5 ha, located in the Starovice municipality area, water erosion caused degradation in the total value of 92 000 EUR in the period 1978–2013. Extensive losses of fertile agricultural land are to be expected in the future. Their main causes are continuing land appropriation and degradation processes – soil erosion.
