  1. EUROPEAN SOIL DATABASEversion 1.0 • 1:1,000,000 Soil geographic database v. 3.2.8. • European Soil Profile Analytical database. • HYPRES pedo-transfer functions.

  2. SOIL PROFILE ANALYTICALDATABASE - SPADE 1 • Soil horizon property data for ‘dominant’ STU’s.Many STU’s have no data. • Particle-size, O.C., pH Bulk D., Hydraulic properties, CEC, Base saturation. • ‘Measured’ data set - Some missing properties. • ‘Estimated’ data set - All properties estimated, but method indicated. • Only one land use per STU - Often not arable.

  3. SPADE2PROJECT OBJECTIVES • Expand the ‘Estimated’ soil profile database to include ‘primary soil properties for ALL STU’s.For the 15 EU countries only. • Primary Soil Properties are:clay%, silt%, fine sand%, medium sand%, coarse sand%, organic carbon%, pH, Bulk density.

  4. SPADE2Project & Database administration • Funded by ECPA. • Co-ordinated by National Soil Resources Institute, Cranfield University, UK(Project manager. J.M. Hollis). • Sub-contracts to National data providers from all 15 EU countries

  5. SPADE2Database administration • Fourth component of the European Soil Database. • Available under the same terms and conditions as the existing database. • All ECPA members will hold a ‘royalty free’ copy.

  6. SMU’s & STU’s per country

  7. SPADE-2 – Project Overview • All 15 National soil data providers contacted about participation. • Negative response from Austria & no reply from Greece (even after several contacts!). • Project started November, 2002. • Protocols for data generation and formal sub-contracts sent to National data providers. • Data providers from France, Spain, Sweden & Ireland did not respond to sub-contracts. • All other countries (Belgium & Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, UK) completed data supply by March 2004).
