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

Copper distribution in European Union topsoils based on LUCAS points. The data are at 500m resolution and have been the result of advanced interpolation modelling.

Maps of potential soil microbial basal respiration (bas), microbial biomass (Cmic), and respiratory quotient (qO2) predicted across Europe. Monthly maps for bas and Cmic are also available

The dataset includes the soil loss by water erosion projections by 2050. The data include 3 raster files for the corresponding three different greenhouse gas concentration scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) , the erosivity projections and the C-factor 2050.

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 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...

Topsoil Hg concentrations (μg kg−1) across 26 EU countries estimated by deep neural network – regression kriging. We also provide Mercury stocks and mercury fluxes to main riverbasins and sea outlets. The assessment is based on 21591 LUCAS samples (0-20cm) fro...

This dataset contains the original measured Soil Organic Matter (SOM) fractions of a subset of the LUCAS 2009 topsoil dataset. This dataset includes 352 samples for all land uses and 186 samples only for grassland and fores used to derived maps on Particulate ...

This dataset (2015) provides maps for Topsoil Soil Organic Carbon in EU-25 that are based on LUCAS 2009 soil poibnt data through a generalized additive model. Map of predicted topsoil organic carbon content (g C kg-1) : The map of predicted topsoil organic car...

Global Applications of Soil Erosion Modelling Tracker (GASEMT) includes 3030 individual modelling records from 126 countries, encompassing all continents. GASEMT includes peer-reviewed research literature on soil-erosion modelling published between 1994 and 20...

Global average phosphorus (P) losses due to soil erosion in kg ha−1 yr−1. Thus we combine the most recent spatially distributed global soil erosion estimates with global P content of cropland soils (data also available for P content)

Analysis of the spatial footprint of the multiple forms of land degradation in global arable lands. This includes 5 land degradation processes: aridity, soil erosion, vegetation decline, soil salinization and soil organic carbon decline. Data are at global sca...

This GIS map (2015) represents the "Support Practices factor" (P-factor) for the EU. At European level, the effect of support practices (compulsory for farmers to receive incentives under the CAP-GAEC) on soil loss were assessed by P-factor estimation taking i...

These maps of predicted distribution of SOC content in Europe (2016) are based on aggregated 23,835 soil samples collected from the LUCAS Project (samples from agricultural soil), BioSoil Project (samples from forest soil), and Soil Transformations in European...

Data from the FP7 iSOIL research projectdealing with new technologies for assessing soil properties along depth accurately and with high resolution by combining existing sensors as well as exploring emerging technologies (mainly geophysical); data available fo...

Dataset (2 GIS-maps) (2016) related to soil erosion in Forestland in Europe. One map is the soil loss potential for EU28; the other map is the European Forest Cover Change for 36 European countries.
