Maximising climate mitigation potential by carbon and radiative agricultural land management with cover crops

This dataset consists of a number of data layers (raster GRID maps) that are associated to the peer-reviewed publication "Assessment of soil organic carbon stocks under future climate and land cover changes in Europe" . Layers cover the current Soil Organic ...

GIS Maps (2008) produced by mapping the concentrations of eight critical heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel, lead and zinc) using the 1588 georeferenced topsoil samples from the FOREGS Geochemical database. The concentrations wer...

This dataset (map)(2016) presents the suitability of soil as a platform for most human activities in the EU. Calculation of suitability was done using vaious properties of the European Soil database (soil type, soil water regime, limitation to agricultural use...

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

This database (2006) is a set of raster data sets that have been derived from the European soil Database v2, for most attributes. The values for the attributes are categorized (non-continuous). These rasters are an interpretation of the data that are contained...

Map at 500m resolution (2014) providing a complete picture of the soil erodibility in the European Union member states. It is derived on the basis of the LUCAS 2009 soil survey exercise and the European Soil Database.

This group of datasets contains 8 chemical properties: pH, pH (CaCl), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Calcium carbonates (CaCO3), C:N ratio, Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) using soil point data from the LUCAS 2009/2012 soil surveys (around 22,0...

This dataset consists of 3 GIS maps that indicate the soil biomass productivity of grasslands and pasture, of croplands and of forest areas in the European Union (EU27)

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...

Plutonium and Cesium inventories in European topsoils. Includes also the Chernobyl-derived 137Cs and Global-derived 137Cs

Rainfall erosivity dataset (2017) is one of the input layers when calculating the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model, which is the most frequently used model for soil erosion risk estimation; for the whole World; R-factor map at resolutions of...

A biological factor to be included in soil erosion modelling. The available data for Earthwork diversity (richness and abundance) introduced a new "earthworm factor" to be incorporated in soil erosion modelling.

This dataset (GIS maps)(2016) contains 7 soil property maps that have been derived using soil point data from the LUCAS 2009 soil survey (around 20,000 points) for EU-25, using hybrid approaches like regression kriging. Properties: clay, silt and sand content...

A 2004 GIS map of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) content (%) in the surface horizon of soils in Europe, associated to a JRC internal report.

This database (2004) is the only harmonized soil database for Europe, extending also to Eurasia. It contains a soil geographical database SGDBE (polygons) to which a number of essential soil attributes are attached, and an associate database PTRDB, with attrib...

Dataset (2016) containing 2 GIS maps from the Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas: 1) the Soil Biodiversity map showing a simple index describing the potential level of diversity living in soils (with the use of two other datasets: distribution of microbial soil c...

A consistent spatial soil hydraulic database at 7 soil depths up to 2 m calculated for Europe based on SoilGrids250m and 1 km datasets and pedotransfer functions trained on the European Hydropedological Data Inventory. Saturated water content, water content at...
