SERENA EJPSOIL PT SOCLOSS SOC 0-20 cm

The internal EJP SOIL project SERENA contributed to evaluating soil multifunctionality, aiming to provide assessment tools for land planning and soil policies at different scales. By co-working with relevant stakeholders, the project provided co-developed indicators and associated cookbooks to assess and map them, to report both on soil degradation, soil-based ecosystem services and their bundles, under actual conditions and for climate and land-use changes, at the regional, national, and European scales.

The dataset corresponds to a map of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) concentration (g kg-1) in Portugal. The map of soil organic carbon, as an indicator of SOC loss threat, was based on ordinary kriging and has a spatial resolution of 50 m. Soil organic carbon (0-0.20 m) data from LUCAS 2018 TOPSOIL data - ESDAC - European Commission database, which is freely available (https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/lucas-2018-topsoil-data).
