Kisic´) Fig. g. 3 Concept of Multifunctionality (MFCAL) in Land Management Global trends are fully confirmed by Blum’s words. At the crossroads of the millennium—1999—when each message has a ‘‘double effect,’’ the functions of agriculture and soil were defined by the International Conference organized by FAO and the Government of the Netherlands in Maastricht, entitled ‘‘Multifunctional Character of Agriculture and Land—MFCAL (Mesic´ et al. 2000). The concept proposes a radical change in the centuries-old criteria for evaluation of soil and the efficiency of agriculture based on quantity and quality of the yield.

The mineral composition of the parent rock also affects the rate of fragmentation and the quality of fragments—its surface, water-holding properties, CEC, mobility, translocation, and distribution down the slope. Released by the weathering of rocks, sandy material provides sandy soils that in the same climatic and under similar other conditions hold less water than soils formed in areas where clay rocks are dominant. Acidic rock is obviously poor in bases and this will give a soil that is too acidic and poor in bases.

The problems of soil degradation are caused by the competition that exists between forms of soil use, giving preference to some soil functions, while ignoring or marginalizing others. The new concept of sustainable land use and protection of soil can be defined as the spatial and 20 temporal harmonization of all soil functions in soil and land use, minimizing irreversible ones. Competences for this concept are partly within the scientific realm but more so within the public and decision-maker (politician) spheres.
