Soil Bulk Density in Europe

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...

Zinc concentrations in EU topsoils

Zinc (Zn) is essential to sustain crop production and human health, while it can be toxic when present in excess. The Zn concentration (mg kg-1) in European topsoils as predicted by the quantile regression forest using the 21,682 samples of LUCAS. The resoluti...

Soil organic carbon losses with lateral transfer to the oceans

A spatially distributed model coupling erosion, transport, and deposition to the carbon cycle was developed. Then, it was used to simulate the impact of cover crops on both erosion and carbon, to show that cover crops can simultaneously increase organic carbon...

Phosphorus cycle in European agricultural soils

Process-based biogeochemical models are valuable instruments to monitor the P cycle and predict the effect of agricultural management policies. We upscale the calibrated DayCent model at European level using data-derived soil properties, advanced input data se...

Multiple co-occurring erosion processes on global cropland

Novel assessment of the spatial distribution of individual and combined (additive) threat to soil due to five erosion processes across the world's areas suitable for farming. Susceptibility classes were predicted for water erosion, wind erosion, Soil Loss by C...

Global Soil Erodibility

This dataset encompasses global soil erodibility (K) factor maps, with the K factor being estimated through the Wischmeier and Smith (1978) method. In addition, measured values of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) have been incorporated into the origina...

Historical reconstruction of soil erosion in Europe

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...

Phosphorus plant removal

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...

Land degradation debt

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...
