SERENA EJPSOIL IT SOC Loss SOC

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.

The dataset corresponds to a map of SOC concentrations for the Tuscany Region produced using a geostatistical approach. Particularly, ordinary kriging (Chilès & Delfiner, 2012) coupled with local geostatistics (LGS) were used to map SOC concentration (%) at regional scale in Tuscany Region (Italy). The map is the result of applying the SOC loss cookbook developed in SERENA/EJP-Soil. It is based on Tuscany Region SOCdatabase (Gardin et al., 2021). Not freely available (Lamma Consortium).
