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...

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...

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 (GIS map) (218) that shows the net soil erosion and deposition in European Union as a result of an application WaTEM/SEDEM model; resolution 100m; EU28. Data are also available at 25m resolution.

Qualitative assessment on desertification risk in Greece based on Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) data of MEDALUS methodology

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

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...

Google Earth Files (with ".kmz" extension) that correspond to 73 attribute maps derived from the European Soil Database v2 (ESDB v2) for EU27 countries.

This dataset (2015), an Excel file, contains the data associated to the peer-reveiwed paper: Gardi, C., Panagos, P., Van Liedekerke, M., Bosco, C., de Brogniez, D. 2015. Land take and food security: assessment of land take on the agricultural production in Eur...

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

A 2003 GIS map of Soil erosion estimates (t/ha/yr) by applying the PESERA GRID (physical) model at 1km, using the European Soil Database, CORINE land cover, climate data from the MARS Project and a Digital Elevation Model. The resulting estimates of sediment l...

Global Soil Erosion is a re-sampled dataset (25km) of the original Global Soil Erosion map. Both the 2012 and 2001 datasets are provided. The data package includes also the input layers (K, LS, R, C) at 25km resolution and a sample area (in Amazon rainforest) ...

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

This dataset (GIS map) (2015) represents the Cover Management factor (C-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; resolu...

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.
