Abstract:
This dataset was prepared within the scope of the Holisoils (Holistic management practices, modelling & monitoring for European Forest Soils) project (EU Horizon 2020 Grant agreement ID: 101000289).
The soil property maps were generated at a resolution of 100m, and created with LUCAS and other continental level data using digital soil mapping. Users should assess the local ''predictive'' accuracy of the maps prior to using them for making recommendations at local (or field) level.
The datasets contain the following soil properties (for top soil (0-30 cm) depth): Soil organic carbon content, pH in water, Total nitrogen, Bulk density (oven dry), Coarse fragments (volumetric), Soil inorganic carbon content, Sand, Silt, Clay, as well as Soil organic carbon stocks, Soil inorganic carbon stocks and Soil nitrogen stocks.
