1 The European Soil Data Center 欧 洲 土 壤 数 据 中 心 Gergely Tóth, Panos Panagos, Marc van Liedekerke,, Luca Montanarella EUROPEAN COMMISSION JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE Institute for Environment and Sustainability

2 The European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC): is the thematic centre for soil related data in Europe one of the ten environmental data centres in Europe - established in 2006 by DG ENV, DG JRC, ESTAT and the EEA (Go4)

3 Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) European Environmental Data Centers (Go4) JRC Soil Forest DG ENV Data requirements EUROSTAT Waste Natural resources IPP EEA Climate Change Water Air Land use Biodiversity

4 Background ESDAC The technical arrangement in the Go4 specifies that: a data centre will act as the primary data contact point for DG ENV in order to fulfill DG ENV s information needs. It will have the task of ensuring that the collected data fit DG ENV s requirements, that data collection is organized in an efficient way, that the necessary quality assurance is performed and that all relevant existing data are accessible to other parties. It will have the primary responsibility for organizing the availability and quality of the data required for policy. Data collection and quality control activities in relation to such data need to be fully co-ordinated with the data centre, which should also take steps to ensure that user needs are taken fully into account Data Centres are driven by DG ENV requirements

5 ESDAC Operation ESDAC becomes the single focal point for policy relevant soil data and information at EU level (one of the 10 Data Centers) DG ENV and EEA requirements are taken into account (yearly) New data will be produced by JRC and quality-controlled and hosted in the ESDAC ESDAC is one node in a system consisting of distributed data nodes: as a soil data node, it holds soil data at European level, while other soil data nodes at regional, national or global level focus on data of different scales. ESDAC allows linking to data and information from National providers, fully complying with the INSPIRE principle of delocalized data systems in a networked approach (interoperability) ESDAC is as open as legally possible, meaning that if data and information resident in the ESDAC can legally be published, the system will do. Even when a product is protected for access by only privileged users, efforts will be made in order to present its metadata to the user.

6 Information Providers

7 ESDAC Components ESDAC Catalogue of available resources Metadata system that describes and points to various soil resource types: datasets, services/applications, documents, events, projects and external links ESDAC Map Viewer Navigate key soil data for Europe European Soil Portal The virtual place where all ESDAC resources are located. The current data and information service makes available four types of products: data, documents, data-based applications and scanned maps. In addition it provides access to: soil projects(fp6-fp7), documentation on the EU soil threats, Awareness Raising activities and Events-Presentations

8 ESDAC Tools ESDAC User Base (Mailing List) > Members Monthly Newsletter Inform the Soil Communities about the latest news in Soil Network of Experts European Soil Bureau Network, EIONET HelpDesk Support is important and ESDAC provides Helpdesk (more than 500 Requests on helpdesk in 2011) IT Support Long Term Mandate

9 Data: Authentication Mechanism Download the for free (no costs) by accepting the license agreement Simple process: Enter the User Details in a Web form Name, Organisation, , Country of Origin, purpose for which the data will be used. ESDAC Authorisation ESDAC helpdesk Authorises/Rejects the user request ESDAC Data Log Useful information/feedback both for ESDAC and for Project Managers

10 ESDAC development In practice: inventory of EU soil data; creation of metadata; make available on eusoils.jrc.it Adapted with an ESDAC corner Development of a new technical platform Metadata catalogue according to INSPIRE suggested standards (ISO19115) populated with metadata for local holdings Local search of the metadata In process of setting-up JRC Framework contract for the performance of soil related studies (call published) In process of setting-up a list of soil data providers (in preparation) Collection of data requirements from DG ENV Established a working link between EIONET/EEA and ESDAC in relation to data on contaminated land/sites

11 ESDAC development In practice Launch the new technical platform (October 2008) Extend this new technical platform in order to make it interoperable with other meta-data catalogues (de-centralized; distributed search) Incorporate new data/metadata (including Biosoil and LUCAS) Start work with a new ESBN working group: how could ESDAC work with Member States in order to build an INSPIRE compliant soil data community Soil Metadata; Soil data ESDAC ESDAC: EU - node Member State - nodes We encourage organizations to send to ESDAC metadata concerning their soil data holdings to integrate in the ESDAC catalogue, but pointing to external source

12 Data distribution Dataset Number of Requests Average Monthly requested rate Available Since European Soil Database Nov-06 Soil Organic Carbon Nov-04 Soil Erosion (PESERA) Nov-04 Soil Compaction Oct-09 Salinization Oct-09 ph Jan-10 TOTAL 1604 Since Jan 2011, an automated ESDAC data distribution system In 2011: 1308 data requests (3 times more comparing to 2010) 17 datasets are delivered through this system

13 Geographical of data requests Global Impact: ESDAC has served user data requests from 68 countries 12% of requests come from outside of the European Union EU Policy: European Commission services account for 2.5% (39 registrations) of the total requests Panagos et al, (2012) Land Use Policy Journal

14 Application of ESDAC data Intended Use Intended Use No of Requests % Education % Education & Research % Policy % Research % Assessment - Study % Other % Model, 382 PostDoc, 8 Undergraduate, 21 Publication, 12 Master (M.Sc), 47 PhD, 131 Other, 201 Scale of data use Project, 279 Scale No of Requests % European/Global Scale % National/Regional Scale % Not defined % Panagos et al, (2012) Land Use Policy Journal

15 ESDAC and policy making (1) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP): SoCo, Soil Erosion rates, Organic carbon, Less Favourable Areas(LFA) EU Forest Action Plan: Biosoil forest soil monitoring programme Climate Change policies: Soil organic carbon data Land use policy: soil organic carbon, ph, compaction, soil erosion and salinization are used to identify land use changes Renewable Energies (Biofuel): ESDAC Data for calculation guidelines of land carbon stocks Protection of EU consumers and food security: models estimating exposure of pesticides to soil organisms Land Take (Soil Sealing) and food security: During the period the lost Potential Agricultural Production Capability is estimated around 6.2 Million tons of wheat in 19 EU Member States

16 ESDAC and policy making (2) Water management and water protection policies: Soil texture data, soil permeability and organic carbon data are used as inputs for pan-european flood alert models Research and development (RTD) policies: FP6 and FP7 project results available in the European Soil Portal (ENVASSO, RamSoil, SoilTrEC, Digisoil, isoil, esoter, etc) Support to EUROSTAT: ESDAC data are the input for the formulation of the Soil Erosion and the Soil Quality indicator Development policies of the European Union: the Harmonized World Soil Database, GlobalSoilMap.net, European Digital Map Archive (EuDASM) Education / Media policies: Soil Atlas of Europe, Soil Atlas of the Northern Circumpolar Region, European Atlas of Soil Biodiversity

17 ESDAC and policy making (3) Spatial planning and urban development: 970,000 ha of agricultural land has been lost in 20 EU Member States in this ten year period due to urbanisation INSPIRE Directive: ESDAC and ESBN participates in the soil data specifications Rural development Policies: Soil Erosion data are used for rural development programmes GEOSS, SEIS: ESDAC is part of GLOSIS (Global Soil Information System) which is included in GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) GMES(Global Monitoring for Environment and Security): New approaches for soil erosion modelling have been applied by using remote sensed Satellite Images Desertification: European Soil Database has been used in Italy & Portugal for policies to combat desertification
