      abstract     = {National governments are becoming increasingly aware of the
                      importance of their soil resources and are shaping
                      strategies accordingly. Implicit in any such strategy is
                      that degradation threats and their potential effect on
                      important soil properties and functions are defined and
                      understood. In this paper, we aimed to review the principal
                      degradation threats on important soil properties in the UK,
                      seeking quantitative data where possible. Soil erosion
                      results in the removal of important topsoil and, with it,
                      nutrients, C and porosity. A decline in soil organic matter
                      principally affects soil biological and microbiological
                      properties, but also impacts on soil physical properties
                      because of the link with soil structure. Soil contamination
                      affects soil chemical properties, affecting nutrient
                      availability and degrading microbial properties, whilst soil
                      compaction degrades the soil pore network. Soil sealing
                      removes the link between the soil and most of the
                      ‘spheres’, significantly affecting hydrological and
                      microbial functions, and soils on re-developed brownfield
                      sites are typically degraded in most soil properties. Having
                      synthesized the literature on the impact on soil properties,
                      we discuss potential subsequent impacts on the important
                      soil functions, including food and fibre production, storage
                      of water and C, support for biodiversity, and protection of
                      cultural and archaeological heritage. Looking forward, we
                      suggest a twin approach of field-based monitoring supported
                      by controlled laboratory experimentation to improve our
                      mechanistic understanding of soils. This would enable us to
                      better predict future impacts of degradation processes,
                      including climate change, on soil properties and functions
                      so that we may manage soil resources sustainably.},
