We estimate the Phosphorus (P) removal from agriculural lands of EU and UK (c.a 173 million ha). This takes into account the P removed by crop harvesting and the plant residues. For P removed by crop harvesting, we used 7 major categories of crops and 37 crops...

We define as environmental debt: (a) the difference between natural forest potential and actual tree cover globally, and aggregated by latitude and by world region, (b) the difference between natural soil erosion and actual soil erosion globally, and aggregat...

Topsoil data for 18,984 samples from LUCAS 2018 are available as a CSV file and, to facilitate use of the data, an ESRI shapefile containing the theoretical points to which the taken samples should be associated; you may preview the readme file to find a descr...

We combine the open-source land-system model MAgPIE (Model of Agricultural Production and its Impact on the Environment) with the Spatial Economic Allocation Landscape Simulator (SEALS) and the Global Soil Erosion Modelling (GloSEM) platform to assess how diff...

The dataset includes 16S and ITS raw DNA sequences for 885 samples collected as part of LUCAS 2018 Soil survey2,3 for the biodiversity module. Raw DNA sequences are deposited on NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database under BioProject ID PRJNA952168. Samples...

Annually, millions of hectares of land are affected by wildfires worldwide, disrupting ecosystems functioning by affecting on-site vegetation, soil, and above- and belowground biodiversity, but also triggering erosive off-site impacts such as water-bodies cont...

Here we show, using a multi-model approach, the spatial risk of soil erosion by water, wind, tillage and harvesting and where the co-occurrence of these different processes is observed. Moreover, we analysed where these locations of multiple erosion co-occurre...

We estimate the Phosphorus (P) budget from agriculural lands of EU and UK (c.a 173 million ha). This takes into account the P inputs (fertilizers, manure, chemical weathering, atmospheric deposition) and the P outputs (crop production, plant residues removal, ...

We present a comprehensive set of future erosivity projections at a 30 arc-second (~1 km2) spatial scale using 19 downscaled General Circulation Models (GCMs) simulating three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) for the periods 2041–2060 and 2061–2080...

The objectives of this study were (i) to quantify and compare the priming effect (PE) in 126 soils from cropland and seminatural (i.e., forests and grasslands) ecosystems, as well as in cropland soils cultivated with three important crop types in Europe: cerea...

A number of layers for soil properties have been created based on data from the European Soil Database in combination with data from the Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD) and Soil-Terrain Database (SOTER). The available layers include: Total available wate...

Indicators of climate change and extremes from regional models coming from 3 sources: PRUDENCE project of the Danish Meteorological Institute, consortial simulation of the Climate Limited-area Modelling (CLM) Community, 12 runs of bias-corrected data from the ...

Global estimates of soil organic carbon stocks have been produced in the past to support the calculation of potential emissions of CO2 from the soil under scenarios of change land use/cover and climatic conditions (IPCC, 2006), but very few global estimates ar...

Reference Grid, Global Land Cover, Climate and Ecological Zones, Soil Default C-Stocks, Land Use System Factor(FLUSYS), IFPRI Global Regions, Crop Surface Area . The data made available on these pages are referred to in the Guide for Calculation of Carbon Stoc...

GloSEM stands for Global Soil Erosion Modelling platform. The GloSEM 1.3 dataset, contains present (2019) and future (2070) scenarios on soil erosion at global scale. The files are provided in GeoTIFF format, which is a common GIS extension, storing georeferen...

Despite the growing importance given to cover crops as a sustainable agricultural practice, the availability of spatial data about them is scarce. The best information available is regionally aggregated survey data, which, although indicative, hinders the deve...

Disaggregated map of cover crops occurrence for Europe and the United Kingdom. Using a disaggregation model, we combined satellite data (Sentinel-1) with aggregated survey data to generate a high-resolution map (100m) of cover crops for Europe and the United K...

Data from the 2015 LUCAS campaign soil component containing soil properties data (clay, silt and sand content, coarse fragments, pH (CaCl2 and H2O), organic carbon content, CaCO3, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, EC (Electrical conductivity) and multispectral...

This dataset includes the spatial distribution of manure in EU and UK (per country, animal type) plus the database of the literature used to review interactions between Manure and Soil biodiversity
