Dataset: Saline and Sodic Soils in the European Union, Jan. 2008
The Saline and Sodic Soils Map shows the area distribution of saline, sodic and potentially salt affected areas within the European Union. The accuracy of input input data only allows the designation of salt affected areas with a limited level of reliability (e.g. < 50 or > 50% of the area); therefore the results represented in the map should only be used for orientating purposes. Two major data s ... (read more)
Dataset: European Soil Database (ESDB) - version 2.0, Sep. 2001
The Soil Geographical Database of Eurasia at Scale 1:1,000,000 is part of the European Soil Informaton System (EUSIS). It is the resulting product of a collaborative project involving all the European Union and neighbouring countries. It is a simplified representation of the diversity and spatial variability of the soil coverage. The methodology used to differentiate and name the main soil types i ... (read more)
Dataset: European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), lakes and reservoirs - version 1, Jun. 2012
- Contact point
- European Environment Agency (sdi@eea.europa.eu)
This dataset contains the “lakes” datasets of Ecrins v1.0. Lakes are very important features of any hydrographical system and have hence been added to Ecrins. This feature is more uncertain than the other ones since it results from the processing of different sources under a twin constraint of relevance and free of charges accessibility. The current layer comprises 70,847 lake objects, that will c ... (read more)
Dataset: Global Soil Organic Carbon Estimates in topsoil (30 arcsec), Mar. 2012
Global estimates of soil organic carbon stocks have been produced in the past to support the calculation of potential emissions of CO2 from the soil under scenarios of change land use/cover and climatic conditions (IPCC, 2006), but very few global estimates are presented as spatial data. For global spatial layers on soil parameters, the most recent and complete dataset is available as the Harmoniz ... (read more)

Dataset: European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), functional elementary catchments (fec) - version 1, Jun. 2012
- Contact point
- European Environment Agency (sdi@eea.europa.eu)
This dataset contains the “functional elementary catchments” datasets of Ecrins v1.0 The FECs apportion into two big categories: the coastal FECs and the continental FECs. Coastal FECs have the following characteristics: they may have 0 to several outlets, they have no upstream FEC and they touch a terminal recipient (sea or endorheic lake). They ID starts by ‘W’. The continental FECs may have an ... (read more)
Dataset: European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), gazetteer - version 1, Jun. 2012
- Contact point
- European Environment Agency (sdi@eea.europa.eu)
This data set, albeit a geodatabase, does not contain feature classes. For the time being, it only contains flat tables Rinames (river names) that links to C_TR feature class with ID Riv_ID (river identifier) and to RivNamesAlias, when more than one alternate name was found for the river. Ancillary table Tr2Riv makes another updated relationship between segments (as from C_Tr) and RivNames / RivNa ... (read more)

Dataset: European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), ancillary data sets - version 1, Jun. 2012
- Contact point
- European Environment Agency (sdi@eea.europa.eu)
This dataset contains different ancillary datasets of Ecrins v1.0. The most relevant feature class is the C_dams that documents the dams that have a position accurately recorded. Hence this layer is likely to be updated if new coordinates are obtained (coordinates and dams update is a continuous work by the EEA). Dams are related to river segments and to lakes. It may happen that a dam is not rela ... (read more)
