Soil property datasets produced in cup4soil project - Beta version

These datasets were prepared within the scope of the CUP4SOIL (Copernicus user uptake for soil information products) project (Copernicus user update project). The soil property maps were generated at a resolution of 20m, and created with LUCAS and other continental level data using digital soil mapping. Users should assess the local ''predictive'' accuracy of the maps prior to using them for making recommendations at local (or field) level.



The datasets contain the following soil properties (for top soil (0-30 cm) depth): Soil organic carbon content, pH in water, Total nitrogen, Bulk density (oven dry), Coarse fragments (volumetric), Soil inorganic carbon content, Sand, Silt, Clay. The SoilSuite products ( https://c.geoservice.dlr.de/web/datasets/soilsuite_eur_5y) were used as covariates, together with a range of other copernics products.



Measurement units and web links for the above properties can be found be below. The maps are provided as Web Map Service (WMS) layers which load dynamically in a GIS software. For instructions see:

https://www.isric.org/instruction-wms .



The suffix `_mosaic` refers to the full data (20m spatial resolution). If you need to use the data, please use layers with the `_mosaic` suffux.



The suffix `_overviews` refers to spatial overviews for faster visualisation. However datasets with the `_overview` suffix will not load to the full resolution.
