SERENA EJPSOIL PL GHG NEP

General description of SERENA

The internal EJP SOIL project SERENA contributed to the evaluation of soil multifunctionality aiming at providing 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.

Files description

Data was prepared as a result of SERENA EJP SOIL. The attached files are a part of the analysis of Assessment of Soil Threats and Ecosystem Services from each MS with the harmonized procedures. SERENA deliverable 3.3 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13991087). 

The present dataset corresponds to a map of Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) for Poland (agricultural areass) as wheat by the Eurocrop 2028 spatial product (d’Andrimont et al. 2021). The map is the result of applying the NEP cookbook developed in SERENA/EJP-Soil to the area of interest (AOI) input data. NEP is expressed for a single 8-day period in early summer as it is the date with the highest value. The NEP value is a 2014 average for the particular 8-day period. NEP was used as an indicator of greenhouse gasses and climate regulation supported by soils.
