Nutrient flows: changes in soil

Web application for visualization of 'Changes in soil' data.

Water
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
