Web application for visualization of 'Changes in soil' data.
Data are represented by interactive map.
 
Nitrogen data come as output of DAYCENT model:
  • Mean N surplus
  • Mean N gross erosion
Phosphorus data represent:
  • Mean P losses due to erosion
  • Mean Phosphorus stock (LUCAS points)
Data from DAYCENT model have been originally provided as raster.
Raster data resolution: 1000 x 1000 m EPSG 3035 LAEA
Raster unit of measures: [kg substance/ha/y]
Reference year: 2010-2019
Raster spatial coverage: agricultural land from Corine Land Cover
Data from raster have been aggregated at a country, NUTS2 and river basin level.
Type of aggregation: mean value over area.
Spatial coverage of aggregated data: EU27 + UK.
Unit of measures: [kg/ha]
 
Phosphorus global losses due to soil erosion has been originally provided as raster.
Raster data resolution: 0.5 x 0.5 deg EPSG 4326 WGS84
Raster unit of measures: [kg substance/ha]
Reference year: 2015
Raster spatial coverage: world
Data from raster have been aggregated at a country, NUTS2 and river basin level.
Type of aggregation: mean value over area.
Spatial coverage of aggregated data: EU27 + UK.
Unit of measures: [kg/ha]
 
Phosphorus stock has been originally provided as raster.
Raster data resolution: 500 x 500 m deg EPSG 3035 LAEA
Raster unit of measures: [kg substance/ha]
Reference year: 2015
