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...

This dataset encompasses global soil erodibility (K) factor maps, with the K factor being estimated through the Wischmeier and Smith (1978) method. In addition, measured values of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) have been incorporated into the origina...

The EUropean SEDiments collaboration (EUSEDcollab) database contains a compilation of data contributions from monitored catchments spanning across multiple European institutions. The focus of the database is small to medium catchments, containing water dischar...

Cadmium content (mg kg-1) in the European Union topsoils applying an ensemble of machine learning models. The map of Cd distribution at a resolution of 100 m.

Cadmium content (mg kg-1) in the European Union topsoils applying an ensemble of machine learning models. The map of Cd distribution at a resolution of 100 m.

Land-use- and climate-mediated variations in soil bacterial and fungal biomass across Europe and their driving factors. These are data accompanying a study that was carried out by a number of researchers from various organizations, including staff from the Eur...

This dataset includes the past reconstruction of soil erosion rates in Europe (incuding UK, Switzerland and Western balkans). The data provided have are aggregated per decade starting from 1860. The soil erosion change is driven by changes in land use and rain...

We estimate the Phosphorus (P) removal from agriculural lands of EU and UK (c.a 173 million ha). This takes into account the P removed by crop harvesting and the plant residues. For P removed by crop harvesting, we used 7 major categories of crops and 37 crops...

We define as environmental debt: (a) the difference between natural forest potential and actual tree cover globally, and aggregated by latitude and by world region, (b) the difference between natural soil erosion and actual soil erosion globally, and aggregat...

Topsoil data for 18,984 samples from LUCAS 2018 are available as a CSV file and, to facilitate use of the data, an ESRI shapefile containing the theoretical points to which the taken samples should be associated; you may preview the readme file to find a descr...

We combine the open-source land-system model MAgPIE (Model of Agricultural Production and its Impact on the Environment) with the Spatial Economic Allocation Landscape Simulator (SEALS) and the Global Soil Erosion Modelling (GloSEM) platform to assess how diff...

The dataset includes 16S and ITS raw DNA sequences for 885 samples collected as part of LUCAS 2018 Soil survey2,3 for the biodiversity module. Raw DNA sequences are deposited on NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database under BioProject ID PRJNA952168. Samples...
