EUROPEAN SOIL DATA CENTRE (ESDAC)

Organisation Created 07 Nov 2016

The European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC) contains currently many soil data and information; most of the offered data are at European scale, while, when possible, links to national or global datasets are provided. Datasets are organized in some broad categories. A first category contains the European Soil Database (ESDB), datasets that have been derived with the help of the ESDB and general European datasets that contain soil properties. A second category offers data that are related to soil threats (erosion, soil organic carbon, landslides, compaction, salinization, soil biodiversity, contaminated sites, soil sealing, etc.) A third category offers soil point data (LUCAS, SPADE, etc) A fourth category contains data that stem from projects.
