Data and software made public as the result of a collaboration between JRC and EFSA. It contains soil, weather and crop data collected by JRC and organised by EFSA for its purpose. The site also hosts the software tool PERSAM for Predicting Environmental Conce...

Soil loss due to crop harvesting in the European Union. The regional estimates of total Soil Loss by Crop Harvesting (SLCH) are presented at country and regional level.

This dataset includes bulk density for Europe in 0-20cm, 0-10cm, 10-20cm layers generated with advanced Cubist rule-based regression model. We also provide the Packing density estimation based on bulk density and clay content. In addition, we make available th...

This GIS map (2013), present in the Soil Atlas of Africa, contains the dominant WRB Reference Soil Group and associated qualifiers (shapefile).

Land use and climate change impacts on global soil erosion by water (2015-2070). This dataset includes the baseline scenario (2015) and the future projections (2070) of soil erosion based on land use changes and climate change effects.

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...

This dataset contains the results of a study targeting residues of active ingredients of pesticides used as crop protection products in soil samples collected from the 2018 LUCAS survey. This is the largest study providing a comprehensive characterization on t...

Soil hydraulic properties maps (2016) for Europe: for Water retention of topsoil: saturated water content (cm3/cm3), water content at field capacity (cm3/cm3), water content at wilting point (cm3/cm3); for Hydraulic conductivity of topsoil: saturated hydraul...

This dataset (GIS maps) represent global lanform classification calculated by the JRC, according to 1) Meybeck et al., presenting relief classes, which are calculated based on the relief roughness, and 2) Iwahashi and Pike, presenting relief classes which are...

This dataset (GIS maps) (2015) represents the "Slope Length and Steepness factor" (LS-factor), one of the six input layers when calculating the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model, which is the most frequently used model for soil erosion risk estimation;...

Dataset (GIS map) (2015) and associated products for the "Rainfall erosivity" (R-factor), one of the input layers when calculating the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model, which is the most frequently used model for soil erosion risk estimation; for EU28...

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 past reconstruction of soil erosion rates in Europe (incuding UK, Switzerland and Western balkans). The data provided have are aggregated per decade starting from 1860. The soil erosion change is driven by changes in land use and rain...

The spatial dataset (GIS map) shows landslide susceptibility levels at European scale, derived from heuristic-statistical modelling of main landslide conditioning factors using also landslide location data. It covers all EU member states except Malta, in addit...

These Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Europe data (2000) have been elaborated by INRA for JRC using the MESAES model and can be seen as an intermediate step towards a "state-of-the-art erosion modelling at the European scale", prior to the initiation of the P...

The LUCAS topsoil survey 2018 included a module for visual assessment of gully erosion. Gully erosion channels were detected in 1% of the visited LUCAS topsoil sites. Find the 211 points declared as gully erosion.

Available Thematic Data Layers for Commission Decision of [11 June 2010] on guidelines for the calculation of land carbon stocks for the purpose of Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC

Detailed maps of heavy metals in the EU27 (EU-28 except Croatia), based on topsoil HM data from LUCAS 2009

GIS Maps related to Groundwater resources in Europe, covering 3 themes: Inventory of aquifers; Hydrogeology of aquifers; Groundwater abstraction; for 9 European countries (Belgium, Federal Republic of Germany, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Nethe...
