The EUSO Dashboard supports the importance for a Soil Monitoring Law, by demonstrating
the need for soil protection and restoration actions at the EU level.

The dashboard is a major contributor to for soil literacy and highlights areas where current scientific evidence aligns to suggest potential soil degradation.

The EUSO Soil Health Dashboard consists has five key features:

• The convergence of evidence map shows in which areas scientific evidence converges to indicate areas that are likely to be affected by soil degradation processes.
• The speedometer indicates the proportion of land likely to be affected by one or more soil degradation processes or by soil sealing in the EU. It is based on the convergence of evidence map.
• The dependency wheel shows the extent of the overlapping area between pairs of soil degradation processes of the convergence of evidence map.
• The intensity of concurrent soil degradation processes and analysis per land cover (agriculture, forest, grassland, etc.).
• The soil degradation indicators statistics as each individual soil degradation process is presented through an interactive display where users can select the process and the scale. Statistics and maps are available at national (NUTS 0) and regional level (NUTS 2).
