Collaborations to create an open-access database on soil erosion

31/03/2024

The EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) Technical Working Group on Soil erosion is looking for contributions with data to create an open-access database (EU_ERPlot) of soil erosion records collected at plot scale, through a series of diverse land use and land cover features across Europe.

Deadline: 31 March 2024

The database (EU_ERPlot) is a result of the collaborative network named  “EUropean soil ERosion field measurements at Plot scale” targeting soil erosion by water data from European field experiments.

Contributions can be made to the database by downloading and completing the form available in the ESDAC data portal (here). Data submissions from all potential contributors across the European continent who wish to share access to their soil erosion measurements are welcome. Upon the completion of the form, data submissions will be screened, harmonized, and then included in the first EU_ERPlotdatabase.v1. As a result, any contributor will be co-author of the first data publication.

Template submissions can be made by contacting the data manager Diana Vieira, a CESAM Ambassador through the email diana.simoes-vieira@ec.europa.eu.
