Three LUCAS surveys have been carried out over the past 10 years, collecting samples of EU topsoil in 2009/2012 (22,000 samples), 2015 (23,000 samples) and 2018 (26,000 samples). The samples, about 0.5kg each, are stored and analysed in a central laboratory, and the analysed data are hosted by the (ESDAC).
71 raster data (GeoTIFF) derived from the Database v2. 16. Apr. 2024. EU Observatory (EUSO team) has published 46 scientific papers in 2023. 10. Apr. 2024. For the entire EU, we provide estimates of sediments removal costs based on 3 quantification methods as documented in the publication.
The variables considered for the selection were physical and chemical properties from LUCAS 2009 ( Commission, 2022), topography (elevation, slope and wetness index derived from Digital Elevation Model over [EU-DEM]), climate (1970–2000 average monthly precipitation and temperatures derived from WorldClim bioclimatic ...

The results indicate that the main factor influencing degradation was land-use change: when compared with the baseline business-as-usual landscape, the landscape with the most intensive agricultural systems had the greatest erosion (+0.26 t ha −1 year −1) and reduced mean SOC stocks (−17 t ha −1 after 90 years). The second ...

We measured decreased TP, Fe-P, O-P and Ca 10-P in the 40–100-cm layer following maize straw and biochar deposition, whereas higher Ca 2-P, Al-P, MROP and HROP were obtained in maize straw-supplemented relative to NPK fertiliser treatment in the 20–100-cm layer. Thus, maize straw and its biochar can be used to effectively ...
The only non-representative class is the elevation above 1000 m where LUCAS points were rarely sampled.. 2.3. Organic carbon content (%) in topsoils dataset. The current (modeled) dataset of the SOC distribution available at scale (known as OCTOP; Jones et al., 2005) is used both by EU policy makers as input for developing strategies for protection and by scientific communities ...

Environmental quality is a major political concern and the important role of the is widely recognized. However, still has an important role to play in translating good intentions into policies supporting the implementation of innovative management procedures that can ensure sustainable production systems in harmony with nature.
Physical protection of uncomplexed organic matter and organisms and the creation of gas and moisture gradients are emergent features regulating the turnover at this level of complexity. The structurally intact (the in situ) constitutes the third level of complexity. This integrates the effects of primary and secondary complexes.

The recent proposal by the Commission for a Health and Food Mission - ‘Caring for is caring for life’ - has set the ambitious challenge of ensuring that, by 2030, 75% of EU soils are healthy for food, people, nature and climate. It is no surprise that is the glue that binds the different strategies of the Green Deal.

Abstract. eukaryotes play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem functions and services, yet the factors driving their diversity and distribution remain poorly understood. While many studies focus on some eukaryotic groups (mostly fungi), they are limited in their spatial scale. Here, we analyzed an unprecedented amount of observational ...

The Saline and Sodic Soils Map shows the area distribution of saline, sodic and potentially salt affected areas within the Union. The accuracy of input input data only allows the designation of salt affected areas with a limited level of reliability (e.g. < 50 or > 50% of the area); therefore the results represented in the map should ...

Our study has proposed the first topsoil OC content map of which is based on direct harmonized measurements stored in a database, produced using DSM techniques. The model shows a fairly good accuracy for most of the EU (R2 =0.28), except for Scandinavia (R2 =0.09) where organic topsoils predominate.

1. Introduction. SOC levels directly affect environmental processes such as erosion, fertility and greenhouse gas fluxes. At a global scale, SOC data are of relevance since “soils” is among the mandatory carbon pools to be reported on under the “Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry” (LULUCF) activities listed in articles 3.3 and 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol (UNFCCC, 1998).
