Soil grid data for 3 agricultural fields in Italy (Soil Moisture, soil organic carbon)

Soil data collected in an agricultural area with annual crops in Italy (west-central Lombardia Po Valley, province of Pavia). The data refers to soil properties of 320 soil samples for Soil Moisture and  120 for SOC, collected in the topsoil (around 5-10 cm), considering a regular sampling grid, within three agricultural field with different crops (spring-summer cycle) and soils type, Rice-Loamy, Sorghum-Sandy and, Maize-Clay, in a period (before the seeding of the crops),  when the soil was bare, in the framework of the EJP Steropes project.

The aim of the collected dataset was to be able to analyse the influence of soil moisture in SOC (WP2 of the STEROPES project) prediction models from remote sensing.

Data in the form of shape file (one shapefile for each agricultural field, for oth Soil Moisture and SOC), and pictures of the soil surface in .jpg format.
