  1. VENETO REGION PILOT AREASilvia Obber Osservatorio Regionale Suolo - ARPAV Ispra - February6-7, 2006

  2. LACK OF HARMONISATION POSSIBILITIES • The first to fill in the exchange format in order to provide an example • Austria-Veneto pilot areas are not cross-border

  3. EXCURSIONS • Austria-Veneto: very different environments. High interest but low correlation possibilities • Humus forms could have been discussed more, during all excursions (important for OC) • Friuli-Slovenia: good examples of harmonisation. A single pilot area, already harmonised.

  4. EXCURSIONS • Similar interpretations of pedogenetic processes (es: Bs/Bw horizons in Lombardy or Switzerland) • This should lead to similar classifications, with few problems of different soil classifications on the borderline (U. Wolf)

  5. CLASSIFICATION • Italy seems confident using WRB classification (no national classification) • Countries with national classifications tend to “translate” their classifications to WRB (single WRB adjective)

  6. PIXEL TABLE STU-TOT (pixel table) Total STU coverage (%), sum of all STUs coverage. STU-TOT+NON SOIL should be 100%, exept for border pixels. Was the interpretation of the parameter the same for everyone? Is it coherent with the 1:1M DB? Problem: NON SOIL (SUR-BARE+SUR-URB+W-BODY) and STU_TOT come from different DB

  7. PIXEL TABLE SUR-BARE+SUR-URB+W-BODY: Should everybody use Corine 2000 to have the same definition of NON-Soil or should they use local sources and describe them in metadata? Which is the source for non-soil for the 1:1M DB?

  8. PIXEL TABLE PX-CFL: Confidence level of pixel description PX-AVLB: Soil data availability PX-OBS: Number of total observations in the pixel N-PROF: Number of profiles in the pixel There is no reason not to fill in these parameters.

  9. PIXEL TABLE CO-HUM: organic carbon content of holorganic layers in the pixel (t/ha) Is the value “0” of some pilot area for missing data or for no holorganic layers presence? (es: agricultural sites, vineyards, ecc..)

  10. PIXEL TABLE S-LOSS: Actual soil loss in the pixel (t/ha/year) some pilot areas have filled the DB with the interval of the classes of t/ha (ES: 10-40)

  11. DOMINANT STU TABLE STU-DOM Dominant STU coverage (%). It should have been calculated as percentage of the STU-TOT Was the interpretation of the parameter the same for everyone? Is it coherent with the 1:1M DB?

  12. DOMINANT STU TABLE TOP-DEPTH : depth of topsoil (cm) It gives precision and accuracy to the data, it helps to characterise mountain and agricultural soils Should bulk density and organic carbon content of TOP-DEPTH be added to check the data of 1:1M DB?

  13. METADATA TABLE Very important to be filled in. Has it been filled by all partners? If not, why not?
