Abstract:

This constitutes a segment of the LUCAS 2009 dataset. We opted to present this data separately to align with the original file structure in the ESDAC data portal.

The 'Land Use/Cover Area frame statistical Survey Soil' (LUCAS Soil) is a comprehensive and routine survey of topsoil conducted across the European Union, aimed at generating pertinent statistics regarding the impact of land management on soil properties. It involved the collection of around 45,000 soil samples during two time intervals, spanning from 2009 to 2012 and 2015. In a subsequent analysis stage, the JRC conducted laboratory assessments for Total Phosphorus (P Total) in the years 2013-14. These analytical results pertain to 21,681 samples gathered in the EU25 in 2009 and Bulgaria/Romania in 2012.
