Global Rainfall Erosivity Database (GloREDa) includes point R-factor data from almost 3,939 stations in 65 countries worldwide b) monthly erosivity values and c) Monthly erosivity maps.

This dataset derives from the integration of the LUCAS soil survey with the bio-geochemistry process-based model DayCent. The model was ran for more than 11,000 LUCAS sampling points under agricultural use, assessing also the model uncertainty. Meta-models bas...

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.

This dataset contains the results of a study that mapped post-fire soil erosion in Portugal and identified the areas with higher post-fire erosion risk for past and future climate extremes. Two maps are provided: one at 100m resolution and another at 25m resol...

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

We present the review of 54 articles in the literature and Member States policy documents which address Soil Biodiversity Conservation

This dataset (map) illustrates the variations in soil organic carbon (measured in g C kg y-1) within the 0-20 cm depth range for croplands and grasslands across the EU and UK between 2009 and 2018.

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...

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...

Maps of Arsenic (As) in EU topsoils at 250m resolution. In addition, we provide the exceedance probabilities for the threshold of 1.5, 20 and 45 mg kg-1 . We also provide comparison with GEMAS data on As.

For the entire EU and UK, we provide estimates of sediments removal costs based on three quantification methods: a) Flat rate assignment from modelled sediment delivery b) Regional assignment from modelled sediment delivery c) Sediment remediation costs from ...

This datasets includes land suitability maps for several crops and land uses (14 crops , 7 fruit trees, 3 land-use types) in the temperate continental climate of Europe. To model the land suitability we used geospatial data depicting seventeen eco-pedological ...

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...

Soil-related citizen science projects have gained significant interest driven by the prominence of soil within public policy agendas. EUSO in collaboration with ECHO makes a review on previous citizen science projects, initiatives and activities that have enga...

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...

Collection of EU Research projects in soils during the last forty years (n = 1101 projects) funded by the successive European Commission Framework Programs (FP) for research and innovation (from FP1 to H2020)

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...

The dataset includes bacterial 18S raw DNA sequences for 885 samples collected as part of LUCAS 2018 Soil survey (Biodiversity module).

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...
